PSNI confirm a live investigation is under way after footage emerged on social media of a dog being cruelly abused. The incident in the video has been reported to the police who have since launched an investigation, arresting two people.
A police spokesperson said: “Officers responded to an address and arrested a man who was in the property at the time, and a number of dogs were also removed.
“A second man was arrested a short time later relating to the same report. Both men have since been bailed pending further police enquiries.
“This is a live investigation and there are no further details at this time, but we would ask the public not to re-share any videos on social media due to the sensitive nature.
"Instead, information which may assist with our investigation can be submitted online using the non-emergency reporting form www.psni.police.uk/makeareport/ or via 101.”
