Saturday, August 24, 2024 - Two deadly dogs are on the run after at least one of them allegedly killed a man.
West Midlands Police has issued a photo of one of the
suspected killer dogs in an urgent appeal for their capture.
A 33-year-old man was found dead in a back garden in Rubery,
about seven miles southwest of Birmingham City centre.
The body was found by officers in the early hours of
Thursday morning, August 22, and while two dogs were seized, police believe
there were two more involved but vanished before their arrival on the scene.
House-to-house enquiries, CCTV, specialist dog officers and drones are all being used to locate the dogs.
Birmingham Police X account posted: "We’re urgently
asking for help finding two dogs who we believe may have been involved in an
incident in which a man died in #Rubery. We were called to Hereford Close in
the early hours of yesterday to report that a number of dogs were loose."
Inspector Leanne Chapman said: "We really need to hear
from anyone who has seen these dogs and it's vital that if you see them, you
don't approach them but call 999 immediately."
A post-mortem examination on the man is being carried out
today, August 23, to establish his cause of death.
