A warning has been issued to dog owners in Nottinghamshire after bread with pins embedded was found at a Nottingham park.

The discovery was made by a dog walker at Lenton Recreation Ground on Sunday, May 9.

The bread has been removed from the park, but there are concerns more could be left at the location which would be harmful to any dogs who may find it.

Nottingham City Stray Dogs posted online: "Please use caution when walking your dogs at Lenton Recreation ground/ Lenton Boulevard side.

"Dog Walker has found bread with pins embedded.

"The bread has been removed but there could be more left."

A picture taken of the bread shows what appears to be staples left in it and it has been widely shared online as a warning to anyone who may walk their dogs in the area.
