We’ve launched an investigation after a cat was sadly killed after being shot by a suspected pellet gun in Rugeley.
At 3.15pm on Tuesday (24 September), we were contacted by someone on Brereton Road reporting that their cat had been shot at some point on Thursday 19 September.
Thankfully, the pellet did not cause any serious injury and the cat is okay.
Then, at 11pm yesterday (Thursday 26 September), we received a separate report on St Michaels Road that a cat had been shot and sadly died.
The incident is believed to have happened at some point between 6.30pm and 8.30pm on Thursday 19 September, the same day that the other cat was reportedly shot.
We’re urging anyone with any information that can help with our investigation to get in touch. Call us on 101, quoting incident 745 of 26 September, or use Live Chat on our website.
To report anonymously, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
