Croydon Cat Killer ‘Could Have Killed Pet Rabbit In Harpenden And Mutilated Body’<\/b>
\nA pet rabbit who was killed and his body mutilated could be the latest victim of the \u201cCroydon cat killer\u201d, police have said.<\/p>\n

Lionhead rabbit Teddy\u2019s dismembered body was discovered by his owners in their garden in The Cleave, Harpenden, earlier this week.<\/p>\n

Police said that a link to the Croydon cat killer is being considered.<\/p>\n

South Norwood Animal Rescue and Liberty (SNARL), believes that about 250 animals have been killed in similar circumstances since October 2015.<\/p>\n

A statement from Teddy\u2019s family posted on Facebook reads: \u201cTeddy was one of a kind, a truly special rabbit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe nature of the attack on him is very distressing and feels very personal – that someone, somehow, climbed into our high-walled garden, killed and mutilated him and left him next to my daughter\u2019s little pink Wendy house for us to find, is beyond comprehension.\u201d<\/p>\n

Teddy\u2019s family warned pet owners across the UK to be vigilant and protect their pets.<\/p>\n

The statement continued: \u201cEverybody in the UK needs to be on high alert to protect their pets. We thought we were safe and I\u2019m so very sad we were wrong.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to remember all the pets who have fallen into the hands of the killer (or killers) and honour their memories by protecting the animals we love, all of us, wherever in the UK we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hertfordshire Police said that officers are investigating the death and appealing for information and witnesses.<\/p>\n

The rabbit is believed to have been killed between 6pm on Monday, October 30 and 9.30am on Tuesday, October 31.<\/p>\n

\u201cBetween these time, the Lionhead rabbit was mutilated and his body left in the rear garden,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n

The Metropolitan Police Service has launched Operation Takahe in a bid to trace the cat killer and postmortems have been carried out on some of the animals.<\/p>\n

A \u00a310,000 reward is currently being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for the deaths and mutilations.<\/p>\n

SNARL says that cats, rabbits and foxes have so far been targeted in Greater London, Surrey, Hampshire, Kent, Berkshire, Sussex, Manchester, West Midlands, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Northamptonshire and Buckinghamshire.<\/p>\n

Anyone who has any further information that could assist Hertfordshire Police\u2019s investigation is asked to call<\/a> 101 quoting crime reference F2\/17\/2084.
