Rogue Pet Firm Owner Incarcerated

Police expressed disappointment today that they were too late on the scene to arrest rogue villian, Mr Bill Dobermann-Pincher for running a racket. The story is picked up by DI Deedum of the Yard. "We was proceeding in an Easterly direction towards the soon to be accused's property in order to proceed with an apprehension of the aforementioned thereof, when events, and a speeding concrete mixer overtook us."

Tearful wife of Mr D-P sobbed, "we had had a tip off that the fuzz were on their way and called KwikSet Rapid Concrete to bury the evidence. My husband had hastily dug a hole in the garden, but unfortunately he was still doing the spadework when the concrete man emptied 250 gallons of fast setting cement into the hole. I was mortified and my husband was solidified."

The racket which Mr D-P had been running was an illegal puppy breeding operation. His appalling business practice had left a trail of upset children accross the country in tears. His mail order business, DOA Puppies, had been posting the pets to the new owners, which according to the RSPCA is contrary to normal regulations. Spokesman for the animal charity explained that normal procedure would be to use DHL or another private carrier because everyone knows about the rough handling that the Post Office normally subject packages to.

Mrs D-P was muscled away by police, insisting that "Them dogs was alright and that. Still breeving and stuff when we slotted them into the post box slot."
