Police in Hartlepool are appealing for anyone with doorbell footage or CCTV to come forward after an XL Bully attacked another dog in the town on Hartfields.
At around 10:20am on Monday 8th December, a man walking an XL Bully walked past a couple who were walking their Staffordshire Bull Terrier on Hartfields, between Cranesbill Avenue and Easington Road (A179).
The larger dog grabbed the Staffy by the neck, but it was reported that the owner of the XL Bully did not attempt to stop his dog at any point and the owner of the smaller dog had to prize the Bully off his dog. The Staffy sustained some injuries, but thankfully nothing life threatening.
Police are hoping to identify the dog and its owner. The dog is described as white with black spots and was wearing a green collar with a silver chain attached. The Bully’s owner is described as white, 6’2” tall and medium build. He was wearing dark clothing and had his hood up over his head.
Anyone who knows who this dog and owner are, or anyone who has footage of the incident or the dog walkers, can call 101 quoting reference SE25234803.

Our thoughts are with Olivia Abbott, 14 - who has tragically died in Hartlepool on Monday.

Cleveland Police have launched an investigation surrounding her unexpected death & it is believed to be caused off an illegal v**e.

A 55-year-old man and a 44-year-old woman have been arrested in connection with her death and have since been released on bail whilst further enquiries are made.

May she Rest in Peace.

It comes after three children were feeling unwell this morning (Wednesday 14th May) and were taken to James Cook University Hospital as a precaution.
While the investigation is in the early stages, officers suspect the v**e to have been laced with illegal drugs.
Officers are urging children or parents who suspect they have been given, or bought an illegal v**e, that they believe could be laced with drugs to not use it and to inform an adult and report it to us as soon as possible.

Tomorrow starting from 9:00am the Hartlepool Local Watch & Updates team will be heading out around Hartlepool litter picking.

We are doing this because we want to make a difference by tidying up common areas known for litter. Whilst out - we will also be doing a walk around Summerhill collecting there & attempting to remove possible fire hazards.

With the rise of deliberate fires in the Summerhill area, we will be doing a full sweep, this is to ensure we remove as much stuff as possible. This also contributed to less deliberate fires caused by said items such as "Paper/Packets, Bottles, Lynx Cans/Other Flammable products etc"

We hope to get all of this done within 1 day.

(In case of incidents around Hartlepool - a member of our team will be active on our page to post & respond to anonymous reports)

Wish us Good Luck! 🙂
