Police issue reminder to keep dogs under control

The Island's Police are reminding the public to keep dogs under control.

The Eastern Neighbourhood Team says just because a dog is on a lead, doesn't mean it's under 'proper control.'

Officers say it's an offence if the animal is not controlled and has caused injury, alarm or annoyance to anyone in a highway or other public area. 

It adds anyone struggling should seek help to train their pet.
