Police have seized two dogs which were being sought following the death of a man in Rubery this week.
Officers received information from the public which helped us track them down to grassland off Merritts Hill at just after 9.30am today.
Specialist dog handlers detained them and have been taken into kennels to undergo further assessment. Tests will be carried out to confirm their breed and this is expected to be concluded next week.
Police said:
We issued an appeal to help us locate the dogs as we believe they may have been involved in an incident where a man died in Hereford Close on Wednesday morning.
We responded to reports of a number of dogs being loose. When we arrived a 33-year-old man was found dead in the back garden of where the dogs are believed to have come from.
We seized some dogs from the address and we don’t believe there are any outstanding now.
A post mortem has revealed the man died as a result of injuries consistent of being bitten by a dog. Our thoughts are with his family and friends at this devastating time.
