RSPCA appeal after CCTV shows man kicking dog

The charity was alerted to video footage of the incident at an industrial estate in Denaby Main on Sunday.

They said it showed a man kicking a small white dog several times.

Inspector Graeme Petty, who is leading enquiries, said: “The incident occurred at around 2.45pm on Sunday.

“It was spotted by a local business worker, who was reviewing CCTV footage.

“He saw a car pull into an area of waste ground on the industrial estate.

“In the clip, someone gets out of the car and lets a small white dog out of the car to go to the toilet, before kicking the dog multiple times.

“Then a second dog - that appears to be a black and white collie-type - jumps out of the car too.”

The incident happened on an area of waste ground off Davy Road, part of a large industrial estate on the edge of Denaby Main. 

Mr Petty said he was now speaking to other business owners in the area to see if there was further CCTV footage and also appealed to the public for help with the investigation. 

He added: “Anyone who recognises this vehicle, the person or the dogs should get in touch with us by calling 0300 123 8018.

“Similarly, if anyone else has CCTV in the area then I’d ask them to check their footage and contact us if they have any useful clips.”
