A reward has been increased to help catch whoever is responsible for three horror attacks on pet cats.

Two cats were found in Portslade with their heads severed and a third in Whitehawk had serious internal injuries caused by a blunt instrument.

Animal lover Rena Collins, of Dorset Gardens, Brighton, last week offered a reward of £200.

Now another resident has put up £300.

Anyone with any information should call the animal welfare unit of Brighton and Hove City Council on 01273 292445.
