FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  Monday, May 13, 2024   8:25 pm

(Ottawa) — This afternoon, an observant member of the public in the area of Rolling Meadow Cres observed a large number of pieces of bread that had been scattered throughout a grassy area that is known to be frequented by locals walking their dogs.  Inside the pieces of bread were pills that are believed to contain a poisonous substance that is harmful to dogs.

The Ottawa Police Service attended the scene, spoke with witnesses and collected a variety of critical evidence.  City of Ottawa work crews attended to clean the affected area, thereby ensuring public and animal safety.

The Ottawa Police Service asks all members of the public to be vigilant and report any similar incidents to police.  This matter is currently under investigation.
