Hunt for two teenagers after kittens found tortured and dismembered

Police are looking for these two teenagers after a pair of kittens were tortured and killed in west London.

The Met Police received a report on May 3 saying two teens had dismembered the animals in Ickenham Road, Ruislip.

A spokesperson said an ‘urgent’ investigation was launched into the grisly incident ‘but unfortunately, no arrests have been possible so far’.

Detectives have now released CCTV of the teenagers in an appeal for the public’s help to identify them.

In the video, the pair are recorded walking down a street and then later running back the way they came.

Police Sergeant Babs Rock said: ‘This is an incredibly distressing incident which I know has caused concern in the local community.

‘We are currently looking to speak with a young boy, described to be 5ft6 with short dark hair. He was wearing a dark jacket with long sleeves, with blue jeans on the day of the incident.

‘He was also seen carrying a black duffel bag, which sadly is thought to have contained the kittens.

‘We would also like to speak with the young girl, who accompanied the boy, described to be 5ft6 with long red hair.

‘She was wearing a white top with black shorts. She was also carrying a purple jumper, which she later puts on to wear.

‘If you know these two individuals then please come forward to us, we would like to speak with them as soon as possible.’
