Hungry Dog likes police tyres

An unlucky South Auckland police sergeant whilst patroling in Mangere has had an encounter with a large black dog. The dog has attacked his vehicle biting the tyre. The Sergeant retreated to discover that his tyre was punctured. He has changed his tyre and returned to ensure the dog was not a danger to public.

The dog has again attacked his tyre giving him a second puncture. He has again retreated, assisted by another Sergeant he has used a second spare tyre. The second sergeant has had his tyre attacked and punctured.

Specialist assistance was sought from animal control who have arrived. The animal control officer has in turn had his tyre attacked and punctured.

Enquiries are continuing to locate the owner of the dog. Police would like to hear from any occupants of Pukaki Street who know where this dog belongs
