The Neighbourhood Policing Team for Bingham is aware of two large dogs causing unease within the community.
A spokesperson said:
‘A suspected owner has now been identified, and work is ongoing to address the behaviour of the dogs. These matters are being actively managed, and enquiries are continuing. A further update will follow in due course.
‘We would like to thank members of the public who have reported matters to the police. Your information and co-operation are invaluable in helping us address concerns and keep the community safe.
‘While dogs being walked in open spaces may cause concern, police action focuses on situations where dogs are considered dangerously out of control.
‘The relevant legislation for attacks on people and assistance dogs is contained within Section 3 of the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.
‘There is other relevant legislation in the Dogs Act 1906 and the Dogs (Protection of Livestock) Act 1953 in relation to attacks on, and the worrying of, any livestock.
‘If you feel unsafe, or there is an immediate risk, please call 999.
‘For non-urgent information, contact 101 or report online.’
