Authorities in Swindon are calling on the public to help identify two males believed to be connected to a disturbing incident involving the death of a swan at Coate Water last month.
The incident took place on the evening of 11th September, when the swan was discovered deceased on the bank, showing a significant neck wound after a loud bang was reported in the vicinity.
Following an initial appeal for witnesses made on 13th September, the police have now released photographs of the two males and are urging anyone who might recognise them to come forward. The shooting of the swan has raised concerns among local residents about wildlife safety and the treatment of animals in the area.
If you can provide any information regarding this incident or identify the individuals in the photographs, you are encouraged to contact the police by calling 101 and quoting reference number 54240107750.
