Police and RSPCA officers seized two dogs in Burton after executing warrants under the Dangerous Dogs Act. Following a number of complaints the dogs, thought to be pit bull terriers, were taken away from a house in Goodman Street and the owner has since signed an agreement for them to be destroyed. Sergeant Chris Beckett of Burton Neighbourhood Policing Unit said: "The action followed concerns by police that these animals could pose a risk to people. Under the Dangerous Dogs Act it is illegal to own certain breeds which are considered highly unpredictable and this action was aimed at taking two animals, which had caused concern, off the streets." He police and RSCPA officers would always investigate reports that dangerous dogs were being bred or housed and take the necessary action. |
