After evaluating information, that a certain house in Limassol has a large number of dogs in a deplorable condition, members of the Police conducted a search under a court warrant at the said house, owned by a 48-year-old man.
Specifically, around 9p.p.m. today, members of the Limassol Police Animal Unit and the Yermasoyia Police Station, together with officials of the Limassol District Veterinary Clinic, went to the 48-year-old's home.
When the 48-year-old was informed that there was an arrest warrant against him, as well as a search warrant for his home, he tried to prevent the search, shouting and insulting the police officers and the officials of the veterinary clinic.
The 48-year-old was subsequently arrested and taken into custody, while a subsequent search of his home resulted in the identification and detention of 27 dogs, mostly small dogs, after it was determined that their living conditions were not suitable, in violation of the Animal Protection and Welfare Act.
Subsequently, the 48-year-old man, after being charged in writing, was released to be summoned at a later date.
Investigations are continuing by the police into the animals.
