Three pets that were found dead beside their smashed-up hutch in the garden of a Dawlish home are being investigated by the RSPCA and the police.
The rabbit and two guinea pigs were left for three days while the owner visited family. The RSPCA believes the animals may have been strangled, or suffocated or may have died of fright.
Three boys aged about 14 or 15 were seen to go into the garden shortly after the family left. It's not known if they are linked with this incident.
The charity RSPCA said "It would always recommend that pets are checked daily perhaps by a friend or neighbour while the owners are away.
