A pack of roaming dogs believed to be responsible for several attacks on chickens and ducks in Te Puna during recent weeks have been captured.
Western Bay of Plenty District Council animal services officers have impounded five dogs this morning after a resident saw the dogs in the Te Puna area and phoned the council.
The council's animal services team leader Daniel Barnes thanked the public for being proactive in helping to catch the dogs.
"We received a call early this morning with information of a sighting of a pack of dogs matching the description of a pack we have been looking for," he said.
"Our team responded to this sighting and within a couple of hours the five dogs were caught."
