lister1 Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Be vigilant. A friend who lives in Tydd St Giles which is nr wisbech, caught some lads in a blue transit van in his yard. They had marked his garage door with blue and red marker pen. They do this to mark what dogs they have and return later to take the dogs. Luckily they haven't been back to ge5 his dogs yet. They have reportedbthe vehicle to the police including the reg plate but as per usual the rural comunity is on its own again. Ive seen a dodgy looking blue transit driving around Parson Drove. If I can get the reg number I'll post it on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted May 10, 2013 Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Last year Cambs police issued a warning around peterborough areas that they were being taken to train fighting dogs. Seems they're back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lister1 Posted May 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2013 Not sure what breads they are after but my friend has cross breads that look like english pointer type and others that look a bread of their own. So perhaps just anything for fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matty7247 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I think the best option for this, is to circulate this as far and wide as possible. Most people use Social media, so any reported sightings and reg numbers, tell people to spread the word. There are too many cretins out there doing things like this, so make it aware to these scum bags that people are fighting back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al4x Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 amazing how the ****** are so dis organised that they can't write down your street name and house number rather than making things obvious by stickering houses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Same here in Cornwall! Did they? when was this as i didnt hear about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lister1 Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 Unfirtunatley he didn't get the reg plate but I will keep everyone updated if anymore info comes up. Please pass it around facebook etc. Atleast we might be able to put them off if they know we have wind of them. Think I might put some posters up in the village and get it put in the local news letter. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beardo Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 the whole sticker / colour marks things is nonsense - it's just an internet hoax that keeps getting recycled. yes there are dog thieves operating around the country - but why on earth would they bother stickering a house - far easier to write it down and not get out of the vehicle... it makes no sense. http://www.snopes.com/crime/warnings/dogstickers.asp http://www.northyorkshire.police.uk/index.aspx?articleid=10838 http://www.snopes.com/crime/intent/gunshop.asp the original looks to stem back to Perth, Australia ... funny how our ****** are organised enough to use the same technique eh? http://www.hoax-slayer.com/perth-dog-fighting-ring-hoax.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
