31 dogs, including several puppies, have been rescued by the PSNI following a proactive operation in the Coalisland area of Tyrone.
“Two men aged 43 and 42 years old were arrested on suspicion of fraud by false representation. Both men have subsequently been bailed pending further enquiries. This joint operation involving our partner agencies has resulted in disrupting this activity and ensuring that further people do not fall victim to buying puppies in these circumstances. I would like to thank both the public and our partner agencies for their assistance during the operation.
“Buying puppies from illegal breeders can have devastating results. Often these puppies die a short time after purchase or end up with infectious diseases such as parvovirus which is expensive to treat and often fatal. They can also suffer behavioural issues relating to fear and anxiety due to poor or no socialisation."It can be tempting to buy a puppy in these circumstances and often purchasers recognise things are not quite right.
If any of these animals have passed away, owners are still being asked to contact the police to assist with their ongoing investigation.
