Pit Bull-type seized in East Ham under Dangerous Dogs Act
A Pit Bull-type dog was seized from an address in East Ham under the dangerous dogs act.
A dog liaison officer from Newham Council, with support from officers from the Enforcement Partnership Team and the council’s Animal Welfare carried out a warrant at an address in Melbourne Road, East Ham on October 3.
It follows complaints from members of the community but enquiries are still ongoing.
Inspector Phil Stinger from Newham’s Enforcement Partnership Team & Problem Solving Team said: “We take all complaints around dangerous dogs seriously. This highlights our commitment to the local community that we will not allow people to use dangerous dogs to intimidate people living in our communities.
