The deadly dog chews Credit: Erewash Borough Council
Dog chews baited in rat poison have been found in Stanley Common in Derbyshire.
The deadly bites have now been removed from the Glendon Street area after a dog walker found them on Monday.
Derbyshire Police have been made aware of the incident.
This is a very serious and very worrying incident and we are grateful to the member of public for taking immediate action so that we could remove the baits before any dog was affected. I would urge all dog walkers to be vigilant and to report any suspicious activity or bait they find.
– COUNCILLOR BARBARA HARRISON, EREWASH BOROUGH COUNCIL’S LEAD MEMBER FOR ENVIRONMENT
