Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 South China Morning Post Wednesday, October 15, 2003 http://hongkong.scmp.com/hknews/ZZZWS8IMWKD.html Pet owner allegedly breaks into official premises in bid for seized dog Updated at 5.08pm: Police on Tuesday were looking for a pet owner who allegedly broke into a government office but failed to retrieve his dog that had been seized on suspicion of being a dangerous breed. The 21-year-old owner, identified only by his surname Wong, was suspected of getting inside an animal management centre of the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department on Tuesday, said police spokeswoman Cherry Yau. Two friends who were with him were caught and released on bail pending further investigation. A lock and a chain were missing from the center's main gate, but officials reported no other losses, Ms Yau said. The dog remained in custody. A spokeswoman for the conservation department, Susanna Ho, said officials seized the dog from Wong on Monday after they suspected it was a pit bull terrier, considered a dangerous breed in Hong Kong and whose ownership is tightly restricted.
