A FIVE-month-old dog was left needing treatment for broken bones following an alleged hit and run last week.

Police are appealing for information about the incident, which is said to have taken place just north of Motor Mall on La Grande Route de St Jean last Wednesday [9 November], between 5.50pm and 6pm.

A woman was reportedly walking her dog along La Fredee Lane before it was ‘spooked’ and ran onto the main road, where it was hit by a car heading south. Police have said the driver didn’t stop.

The dog is described as a medium-sized, five-month old black ‘Golden-Doodle’.

It was taken to the vet and is undergoing treatment for broken bones, but is expected to recover.

Police would like to speak to the driver of the car involved, or anyone who may have seen the incident.

Those with information can contact police on 612612 or the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111, or via their anonymous online form at Crimestoppers-uk.org.
