Inspector Tanya Beckett said: "West Mercia are aware and is dealing with offences reported with the support of the community."

An anonymous reader contacted Worcester News to raise their concern over the reports.

They said: "Over the weekend a Mastiff-type dog has been allowed by its owner to maul two cats. One on Friday and then once again on Sunday.

"This dog is completely out of control.

"The residents of the area involved are frightened to allow the pets and children out into the street. 

"These cats are not disposable; they are someone's family."
