STOUFFVILLE, Ontario (AP) Police are investigating a case of animal cruelty after six severed cat heads were found in residential locations north of Toronto.
Const. Andy Pattenden said Thursday that the cat heads were placed within a less than a mile (1.6-kilometer) radius next to curbs in residential neighborhoodsin Stouffville, Ontario, about 27 miles (45 kilometers) northeast of Toronto.
Pattenden says the incidents aren't believed to be accidental or the result of a predatory animal.
The first incident was reported Aug. 12 when a head and two legs were found near a daycare center.
Five other cat heads were found during the next few weeks, with the last incident reported on Sept. 13, when a homeowner found her cat's head.
