Suspect(s) Unknown - We need your help!
The Animal Cruelty Taskforce of Southern Arizona is seeking the public’s help in gathering information about a suspected animal dumping ground south of Tucson.
In late December 2009, local animal activists discovered a stray horse in an area near East Old Vail Connection Road that is sometimes referred to as Dogpatch, according to a news release issued by the task force.
Multiple online postings on chat rooms and social networking sites have included claims of large-scale animal cruelty in that area, though no criminal complaints have been filed with local law enforcement agencies, the release said.
The task force is asking anyone with firsthand knowledge of animal cruelty activity to call 88-CRIME or going online to www.88crime.org.
Tipsters have three options for reporting information anonymously:
* Talk: (520) 882-7463. (Collect calls accepted.)
* Text: 274637, enter "Tip 259" plus text message
* Type: www.88crime.org
Tipsters need not identify themselves and no calls are recorded or traced. Tipsters should reference the "Old Vail Road Connection or "Dogpatch dump site."
Any tipster who supplies information leading to the arrest and indictment in a criminal case may be eligible for up to $1000.00 in reward money. Information can also be left on the ACT automated reporting line at (520) 547-0260. If you have information on this case, please contact:
Task Force or Police
