Authorities are currently searching for two teenagers in West London following the discovery of the “transmitted” remains of two kittens.
The Metropolitan Police were alerted on May 3 after witnesses reported a male and female teenager allegedly dismembering an animal on Ickenham Road in Ruislip.
Sgt. Babs Rock mentioned that CCTV footage showing the teens fleeing the scene has been released, aiding in identifying and interviewing the suspects.
“This is a deeply tragic event that is understandably alarming the community,” Rock noted.
The male suspect is about 5 feet 6 inches (168 cm) tall and has short hair, while the female is described as the same height but with long red hair.
Witnesses believe the boy was wearing a dark jacket and long-sleeved blue jeans, whereas the girl had a white top and black shorts and was carrying a purple jumper.
The police indicated that the boy was seen with a black holdall.
According to Rock:
The Met has also reported other animal attacks in the region, including incidents involving swans and ducks, though these are regarded as unrelated to the kitten situation.
To increase awareness of animal cruelty, police have sent letters to parents through local schools, encouraging them to discuss these events with their children.
Anyone with dashcam footage or information is encouraged to share it anonymously via Crimestoppers at 0800 555 111, referencing CAD3355/03May.
