TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. (WTOC) – The Tybee Island Police Department is looking for two men traveling in a large white utility van, accompanied by five dogs after gruesome reports of animal strangulation.
Saturday, Tybee Police said they went to a local dog park after reports of someone strangling an animal by its leash.
A caller told police that they watched a man hold a dog over a nearby fence and strangle it by holding it off the ground by its leash. The caller told police this continued for around seven seconds.
