A Leominster woman has been charged with two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal.
Marilyn Storey, 73, of The Marsh in Leominster has been charged with the offences and is due to appear at Hereford Magistrates’ Court tomorrow (Wednesday 21 May).
The charges relate to an incident on 30 November 2024 after three puppies were found dead in a car park in Leominster.
A police investigation was launched in 2024 after a number of newborn puppies died after being found in Leominster.
Here is what Hereford and Worcester Animal Rescue said at the time:
