A suspect has been arrested after the burglary of a house in Woolacombe
A suspect has been arrested after a pet dog was killed during a burglary of a home in north Devon.
Devon and Cornwall Police said a house in Woolacombe was broken into between 10:00 and 18:50 GMT on Thursday.
When the residents returned to their home in Woolacombe Court they found their dog dead having suffered several injuries and alcohol stolen.
Police arrested a suspect on Friday and said no-one else was being sought in connection to the incident.
Andrew Wills, sector inspector for north and west Devon, said residential burglary in this community was "very rare".
He said: "This is an offence which will understandably cause concern in a community where residential burglary is fortunately very rare. It is currently not being linked to any other reports."
