Police received a report on Saturday about loose dogs chasing reindeer at Kvingra in Nærøysund, according to a police statement. A concerned reindeer owner reported the incident. The incident occurred amid a leash law that has been in effect since April 1.
According to Håvard Okan Lossius, an operations leader, the leash law applies to other places besides Nærøysund. It remains unknown how many dogs were involved in the incident, what the current status of the dogs and reindeer is, and whether any injuries or damages were reported. Police have not specified what specific actions they have taken in response, and it is unclear if this is an isolated incident or part of a pattern.
