Mistreated dogs and cockerels seized by police and RSPCA in Nuneaton raid
A joint raid by the RSPCA and Warwickshire Rural Crime Team on a site in Nuneaton found that a tip-off about animal welfare there was justified.
A number of dogs were seized due to the very poor conditions they were being kept in and officers found a number of cockerels and other birds being kept in substandard conditions.

A police spokesman said: "Spotting irregularities in security tags on plant vehicles, trailers, horse boxes, VIN plates and of course CRIS etched numbers on caravans, is a particular skill that rural crime officers become well versed in.
"Two caravans also at the location caught our eye. We’ll let our viewers have a look at the below etching and decide what the letter should read."
The two were seized and identified as being stolen from other force areas.
