Police have released CCTV images of two teenagers they would like to speak with after two kittens were reportedly tortured and killed in Ruislip.
The incident happened on Saturday, 3 May, when officers received a report from a member of the public claiming that two teenagers had dismembered the kittens on Ickenham Road.
The Metropolitan Police launched an investigation immediately and have been conducting urgent enquiries. However, no arrests have been made so far.
Police Sergeant Babs Rock from the Met said: “This is an incredibly distressing incident which I know has caused concern in the local community.
“We are currently looking to speak with a young boy, described to be 5ft6 with short dark hair. He was wearing a dark jacket with long sleeves, with blue jeans on the day of the incident. He was also seen carrying a black duffel bag, which sadly is thought to have contained the kittens.
“We would also like to speak with the young girl, who accompanied the boy, described to be 5ft6 with long red hair. She was wearing a white top with black shorts. She was also carrying a purple jumper, which she later puts on to wear.
“If you know these two individuals then please come forward to us, we would like to speak with them as soon as possible.”
Police have advised that anyone concerned about the incident can speak with their local neighbourhood officers for support.
Anyone with information is urged to contact police by calling 101 and quoting CAD3355/03MAY. To remain anonymous, call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
