Police have issued a warning after discovering suspected poisoned meat in two west London green spaces. The poisoned meat was found in Holland Park and Brompton Cemetery over several days. It is believed to have contained toxins, and a dog that ate some of the meat became very unwell, while two foxes were found dead with no obvious signs of injury.
Officers suspect the meat may have been deliberately placed to harm animals, either targeting foxes or dogs. Dog owners are being urged to remain vigilant and prevent pets from scavenging in the area. In Brompton Cemetery, police have reminded the public that dogs should be kept on leads at all times.
The investigation is ongoing, with key unknowns including what specific toxins were in the meat, who is responsible, and the exact timeline of discoveries.
