West Mercia Police confirmed that their officers are still looking for the male, tan-coloured Staffordshire Bull Terrier cross in the Hollinwood and surrounding area of the county.

Officers have not said why they consider the dog to be so dangerous but they have carried out "extensive searches in the village of Hollinwood, Shropshire and surrounding areas". They also say it escaped from kennels in Whitchurch, on Monday.

Yesterday they worked with Herefordshire & Worcestershire Fire & Rescue Service on the drone search.

Officers are asking communities to be vigilant and were advising people if they see the animal to not approach it and instead dial 999 quoting incident 475 i of 1 August.
