A 'dog-hater' is littering beaches with rat poison sandwiches on a small stretch of UK coastline.
Police have confirmed that at least three dogs have been affected near Chicester, West Sussex, with the latest contaminated sandwiches being found on the beach at East Wittering.
Others have been found at Bosham and Lavant, and police are now concerned that an animal could be killed in the Easter holiday beach rush, according to the Daily Mail.
A spokesman for Chichester District Council told the paper: "Our dog wardens and foreshores team have been made aware of incidents of dogs eating rat poison sandwiches.
"They will be looking for any suspicious items while they are out on patrol and removing anything they find."
One famous local resident and wildlife campaigner who might be concerned is Rolling Stones star Keith Richards, who has lived in the area for 46 years and owns a beach hut at West Wittering.
Don't let thugs put you off our beautiful beaches.
Please be careful
