Pets killed in Broughton Astley

police,constabulary,leicestershire policePets killed in Broughton Astley

Police are appealing for witnesses after a concerning incident in Broughton Astley.

The incident happened sometime between 8am and 3pm on Tuesday October 13 in the back garden of a house on Frolesworth Road when two chickens and a rabbit were killed.

A second rabbit was injured and taken to the vets. The vets confirmed to the owner three days later that the injuries were not consistent with an animal attack and she then phoned the police.

PCSO Neil Patel, one of the officers investigating the incident, said: These animals were family pets and the victims have been left devastated. Theyre finding it difficult to understand why anyone would do such a thing.

The surviving rabbit had quite nasty injuries and there is a very strong possibility that the person who did this will have been covered in blood.

Were therefore hoping that someone out there will know who did this. Perhaps a family member came home with blood on their clothes. Maybe you saw someone walking through Broughton or nearby Frolesworth with blood on their hands or clothing.

If you have any information about the person responsible for this or saw anything suspicious that Tuesday, please get in touch.

Anyone with any information is asked to contact PCSO 6143 Neil Patel or PCSO 6526 Martyn Doyle from Market Harborough LPU on Leicester (0116) 222 2222, follow the instructions to leave a message for an officer and when prompted key in their identification numbers 6143 or 6526 respectively. Alternatively, people can call Crimestoppers free* and anonymously on 0800 555 111.
