Las Vegas police are investigating after they said a dead dog was abandoned in a cage on the sidewalk of a residential area in the western valley.

An earlier news release said the department “received a report of a deceased animal located in the roadway” on Torington Drive.

No other information was immediately available.

Anyone with information may contact the Metropolitan Police Department at 311 or, to remain anonymous, Crime Stoppers at 702-385-5555.
