Police have captured two dogs thought to have been involved in the death of a 33-year-old man in the West Midlands on Wednesday.

Officers had launched a wide-ranging search for a pair of loose American Bulldogs after a man died from "significant injuries" when four of the animals were suspected to have attacked him in his own garden.

After a two-day search, West Midlands Police confirmed they had detained the two loose bulldogs on Friday morning.

On Thursday, the force said officers had rushed to Hereford Close in Rubery in the early hours of August 21 "to reports that a number of dogs were loose".

A statement added that the police were "working on the belief that he had been attacked by at least one dog, which may have contributed to his death".

West Midlands Police's Superintendent Sally Simpson said yesterday: "This is a really tragic incident, and the family of the man are being supported by officers."

The search had involved police, vets, drones, the local authority and residents, which had stretched into last night.

And now, police have finally tracked down the two dogs on the run - a pair of American Bulldogs, one brown and one black.
