Law enforcement officials are asking for help to identify a person who pushed two small dogs out of a vehicle March 5 at Sunken Meadow Park.
The incident occurred about 12:10 p.m.
The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office, the Suffolk County Police Department, and Crime Stoppers say that an unknown person who was driving a tan or gold SUV was seen pushing two small white dogs out of the vehicle releasing them into Sunken Meadow State Park, and then fleeing. The two dogs were subsequently located and brought to the Town of Smithtown Animal Shelter covered in ticks. The dogs were not microchipped and had no other identifying information.
