MIAMI – Officials in a Miami-area village say police have made arrests in a recent string of gruesome cat deaths.
A spokesman for the village of Palmetto Bay said in a news release that the Miami-Dade Police Department began making arrests Saturday night. Village spokesman Bill Kress said police issued multiple warrants, and have scheduled a news conference Sunday morning.
The names of the suspects weren’t immediately released.
Horrified owners have been finding their cats killed and mutilated for the past month in Palmetto Bay and another nearby community. Police say some of the dead cats were missing fur and appeared to have been cut with a sharp, straight instrument. In all, investigators have been looking into about two dozen deaths.
