Police search for driver who saw kittens thrown from moving car in Naugatuck – NBC Connecticut

Police are investigating the deaths of two kittens on the side of the road in Naugatuck after receiving reports that the kittens were thrown from a moving car.

According to Naugatuck police, witnesses saw a woman throw two kittens from the driver’s side of a maroon sedan in the area of ​​North Church Street and Route 63 around 9:45 a.m. Tuesday.

According to a statement posted on Facebook on Tuesday evening, officials subsequently found the bodies of the dead kittens on the side of the road. The cats were estimated to be four to five months old.

Police said they had identified the vehicle from which the kittens were allegedly thrown.

But police say the car that was driving directly behind the suspect’s vehicle at the time of the incident was seen swerving to avoid hitting the kittens. Investigators are now asking for help in locating the driver of that vehicle, which police described only as a black car, “to get more information about what they saw.”

Further information about the incident was not initially available.
