PSNI organised crime officers have seized 57 puppies suspected of being destined for sale in England and Scotland.In a statement issued on Wednesday, the PSNI says detectives from their Organised Crime Unit have arrested a 44-year-old man and seized 57 puppies as well as three adult dogs and one cat “as part of an ongoing investigation”.
“We suspect many of the dogs had been illegally imported into Northern Ireland from Republic of Ireland for onward sale within England and Scotland. “Smuggling is often conducted by sophisticated cross-border organised criminal groups. Such groups will not discriminate when it comes to the commodity being smuggled – should that be drugs, cigarettes, people, or in this case, animals.
Glad these animals were found. Hopefully they'll go to safe and loving homes 🐶🐶
