A DOG control order was issued after a series of attacks.

A Rhodesian Ridgeback known as Kianga has reportedly attacked several dogs in Ashton-Under-Hill and a dog control order has now been issued to its owner.

PC Acaster, Safer Neighbourhood Team for Pershore Rural South and Rural North, said: "The order against the owner and Kianga is a clear reminder that police will take positive action to ensure that other local residents and their dogs are kept safe.

"We appreciate that recreational areas are a great place to exercise dogs, but we must urge owners to ensure that their dogs are kept under control."

Local residents are being reminded that they should keep their dogs under control at all times.
