Dog owners told to be extra vigilant after police called to reports of suspicious male

On Thursday 11th March, at around 12:45, Officers attended an incident in the fields opposite Poundbury cemetery.

There was a report of a suspicious male who appeared to be whistling for a dog that did not belong to him.

A search of the area was conducted but it is believed the male left in a vehicle prior to their arrival.

Officers have this advice:

Please be vigilant whilst out walking your dogs. Keep your dog close to you at all times. Make sure your dog has a good recall if you let them off the lead. Keep some of their favourite treats in your pocket to entice them back to you.

Don’t leave your dog unattended anywhere. Make sure you have some up to date pictures of your dog from all angles including any distinctive features. Make sure your dog is microchipped and all the details are up to date.
