A number of cat owners in the Berle Avenue and Newlands Drive areas say their pets have been poisoned and subsequently have had to be put down.

A resident called police at about 1pm yesterday to report four apparent poisoning incidents.

Police are working to investigate the incidents and the RSPCA is aware.

Anyone with information should call police on 101.
