A 61-year-old man detained on Monday in connection with alleged dog abuse has been released without charge, police said Tuesday.
The development follows the earlier release of a 30-year-old dog owner, who was arrested on Friday evening and subsequently released on Sunday, also without charge.

Investigations into the case are ongoing.
