A man's been arrested after doorbell camera footage showed a dog being kicked in Suffolk.

An investigation's been looking into what happened in Stowmarket just over a week ago.

Suffolk Police have been looking into a video showing the animal being attacked.

The incident took place at 7.48pm on Friday 3rd March in the Northfield View area of the town.

The footage showed the dog being picked up by someone, who carried on walking.

Officers have confirmed the animal wasn't injured.

They had issued a CCTV image as part of an appeal for information, but they've since confirmed the arrest and thanked members of the public who came forward with information.

A Suffolk Police spokesperson issued this statement:

Police have arrested a man following an incident on 3 March in Stowmarket in which a dog was kicked.

The dog has been checked and was not injured.

Police would like to thank the media and members of the public for their help with this appeal.
