Peterborough police are warning the public after receiving reports of "Several disturbing incidents" involving squirrels being shot with arrows.

"In the last few weeks, officers have received several reports of squirrels being found with arrows in them," police said in a statement.

"The incidents have been happening in the Western Avenue and Chamberlain Street area of Peterborough and it’s believed the weapon is a smaller compound bow and arrow.

"Peterborough Police remind residents of the dangers associated with shooting a high-velocity arrow in a residential neighbourhood including potentially injuring a person or other animals, both of which could result in criminal charges."

Anyone with information can call Peterborough Police at 705-876-1122 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
