State police seek public’s help identifying person who abandoned dog in Hunterdon County
LEBANON BOROUGH, N.J. (Hunterdon County) — New Jersey State Police are asking for the public’s help identifying the person responsible for abandoning a dog along Main Street in Lebanon Borough earlier this year.
Troopers from the Perryville Station responded March 24 after receiving reports of an abandoned dog in Hunterdon County, authorities said.
Animal control officers also responded and took custody of the dog.
During the investigation, state police reviewed surveillance footage from a nearby camera that captured the incident.
According to investigators, the video shows a black four-door Nissan Altima traveling on Main Street before stopping near a fire hydrant.
Police said a woman wearing a red long-sleeve shirt and black pants exited the vehicle holding the dog on a leash. She then walked behind the car and briefly out of camera view before returning without the dog, reentering the vehicle and leaving the area.
Authorities said the Nissan appeared to have New Jersey license plates on both the front and rear of the vehicle.
State police are asking anyone who witnessed the incident or has information about the driver or vehicle to contact Troop B’s Perryville Station at 908-730-7042. Anonymous tips are being accepted.
