Patrols fail to find dog

A pitbull that injured two people in Kaikohe at the weekend was still on the loose last night.

A middle-aged woman was taken to hospital with extensive injuries, particularly to her legs and feet, and a teenage boy needed hospital treatment for leg and hand injuries after attacks by the dog.

House-to-house searches and night patrols by police and Far North District Council officers have failed to find it.
