The investigation against women began after the leads of buyers. Therefore, the supposedly vaccinated and chipped young dogs were offered on online sales portals. Investigations are still continuing.
In this context, the police warn against giving animals at Christmas. The purchase of puppies whose origin cannot be traced and which are offered on the Internet or in markets promotes illegal and inappropriate trade. According to the police, young dogs are often tortured.
