Police are appealing for information after two kittens were found tortured and killed in Ruislip, northwest London.
Officers from Met Police received a report from a member of the public that two teenagers had allegedly dismembered two kittens in Ickenham Road on Saturday, May 3.
An investigation was immediately launched and urgent enquiries have been carried out, the Met said, but so far no arrests have been made.
CCTV footage has now been released of two teenagers police would like to speak to.
Police Sergeant Babs Rock said: “This is an incredibly distressing incident which I know has caused concern in the local community.
“We are currently looking to speak with a young boy, described to be 5ft6 with short dark hair. He was wearing a dark jacket with long sleeves, with blue jeans on the day of the incident. He was also seen carrying a black duffel bag, which sadly is thought to have contained the kittens.
“We would also like to speak with the young girl, who accompanied the boy, described to be 5ft6 with long red hair. She was wearing a white top with black shorts. She was also carrying a purple jumper, which she later puts on to wear.
“If you know these two individuals then please come forward to us, we would like to speak with them as soon as possible.”
Anyone with information has been asked to contact police by calling 101 stating CAD3355/03MAY.
Any local residents with concerns about this incident, have been asked to speak with their local neighbourhood officers.
