Hell Itself Would be Too Good for Some People
A ‘man’, and I use the word loosely, has been spared a jail term even thoughr, amongst other crimes, throwing dogs into the path of oncoming cars.
Paul Postgate was a known trouble maker in the area of Celevland for months.
He was also charged with possession of dangerous dogs and other anti social behaviour offenses.
Police told of several incidents including one in Boosebeck, where Postgate ran into the path of an oncoming vehicle while carrying a dog, almost causing a serious accident.
In Lingdale, he jumped onto the bonnet of a moving vehicle before standing in the middle of road. As the vehicle manoeuvred away, he grabbed his lurcher-type dog by the scruff of the neck, pushed its face into the ground and kicked it three or four times.
In the same area he was seen walking down the centre of a busy road with two dogs chained together – one of which was a bullmastiff bitch, which had recently given birth and was leaking milk.
Sgt Brian Tams, of Cleveland Police, added: “The community of East Cleveland really pulled together to try to tackle someone who was instilling a disproportionate level of the fear of crime within their midst.
“Some very brave actions also took place to take these dogs out of danger.
“This has showed that things like cruelty, crime and anti-social behaviour are committed by a small number of offenders but have a massive impact on the areas they affect.
“The villages of Lingdale, Brotton, Skelton and Boosebeck really showed their community spirit in dealing with something they knew was wrong.
“We have worked closely with our partners at Redcar & Cleveland Council’s Safer Stronger Communities and also with the RSPCA and are very pleased with this outcome.”
Police said Postgate’s dogs were now with the RSPCA.
Postgate himself was given a 5-year Anti Social Behaviour Order. Yes, you read that correctly. This ‘man’ is not in jail.
