The police have arrested two men in connection with dog fighting at Zebbug on Sunday.

The police said that information reached them at about 5.30 a.m. that dog fights were taking place in the area known as l-Barrieri taz-Zibgi, limits of Zebbug.

The police went on site and found a number of persons who had just finished watching one of the dog fights. They held a number of men for questioning and later seized a video tape which they say is a recording of the fights.

The two men, one from Valletta aged 30 and another from Zejtun aged 58, are expected to be arraigned today.

The police are investigating.
