Bizarre moment man ties dead rabbit to homeowner's fence captured on Ring Doorbell
COPS are hunting a thug who was caught on a doorbell security camera hanging a dead RABBIT on a homeowner's front gate.
Police were called after the dead white pet was discovered on the property at a house in Stonnall, Staffs.
Footage from a Ring camera captured the moment the yob crept up to the gate of the family home.
The unknown man is then seen unravelling a string and a dead white rabbit hanging from the end.
He then moves it over the gate before hanging what appears to be a note and the dead animal on the fence.
The incident took place at around 10.25pm on August 2 but police are reissuing the CCTV footage in a bid to trace the thug.
Detective Constable Josh Lee, of Staffordshire Police, said: "This event, which is part of a wider course of action, is utterly abhorrent.
"We are unsure what motivates someone to undertake such actions and are keen to get the public's help to identify him."

"Thankfully this sort of behaviour is extremely rare but it is concerning that someone would undertake such activity."
