Nassau SPCA Searching For Person Who Left 7 Dead Dogs In Sump

Nassau County authorities are searching for the person who left seven dead pit bulls in a sump in Hempstead.

The bodies of the dogs, each one placed inside black garbage bags, were found on Wednesday, Sept. 12 in a sump on South Franklin Street in Hempstead. The Nassau County SPCA says the bodies included four female dogs, two males and a 2-month-old puppy.

The SPCA, which investigates animal-related crimes in the county, said it is offering the reward because it feels that someone knows who threw the corpses into the sump.

Anyone with any information about this crime is encouraged to call the Animal Cruelty Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-THE-SPCA.
