Police to quiz man, 47, after dog bites woman and pet in Northampton
Officers act over concerns in local area
Police say a 47-year-old man is due to be quizzed after his dog bit a woman and another pet.
A Northamptonshire Police spokesman revealed reports were received in early April regarding a dog left in a van for long periods of time in the Grange Park area.
More reports on April 8 revealed a dog believed to be the same one had bitten another dog as well as a member of the public.
The spokesman added: “The dog has since been taken off its owner and the man in question is due to attend a police station for interview in relation to an offence under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.”
Neighbourhood Policing Officer, PC Kate Rideout, said: “We know this issue has caused a lot of concern in the local area so I hope this demonstrates that we are taking prompt and appropriate actions.”
