Dangerous dog in St Leonards seized by police

Hastings Police confirmed on Facebook that the dog in Hollington Old Lane has been seized from the owner by officers.

It comes after multiple calls of a dog savagely mauling cats in the area in recent weeks.

A police spokesman said: “Last week, officers issued the owner with a Community Protection Warning, outlining conditions that must be met to prevent the dog from being a risk when out.

“This morning, we received a call reporting that this same dog had become aggressive towards a male.

“Officers attended the address, where the dog was seized and the owner was spoken to. At this stage, our enquiries still continue.”
