DOG walkers exercising their pets in the Llwynu Lane area of Abergavenny are being warned to be on the lookout for cooked mini sausages spiked with nails.

Some 40 baited sausages have already been recovered from the area, with each containing eight or nine nails or panel pins.

This issue has been raised with Abergavenny Neighbourhood Policing Team by a concerned member of the public.

Warnings have been sent to dog owners in the area through the OWL Neighbourhood Watch website and local vets.

Anyone with information on who is responsible should call 101.
