Two 'dangerously out of control dogs' attack horses in Lancaster

Two "dangerously out of control dogs" have been seized after they attacked a "number of horses" in a field.

Lancashire Police say multiple officers were called to Beaumont College in Lancaster at 7.10am on Saturday 28 October following reports of the attack.

Officers had warned the public to "be careful" in the area as both dogs, described as a "large, black dog" and "a second possible cockapoo-type", were still on the loose.

But both were found and taken to kennels later in the evening, while the owner was spoken to.
