Police are investigating reports that foxes have been caught, tortured and set on fire by a group of men in east London.
The Metropolitan Police are looking into the “appalling, cruel incidents” after being alerted by an animal rescue group on Monday that a fox had been set on fire in a wooded area near Kestrel Avenue and Linton Gardens in Beckton.
Scotland Yard said a member of public made the call to the rescuers after they were woken up by sound of screaming at about on Monday at 1am.
