A litter of one-week-old kittens were found dumped inside a binon the hottest day of the year so far.

They were discovered wrapped inside a bag and inside a box by a member of the public.

It happened in Derby on the June 29, when temperates topped 30C.

A spokesman for the RSPCA said the kittens were dumped deliberately and whoever did it "had no intention for them to be found."
