CRANFORD — Police have asked for the public’s help in tracking down the person who left a dead cat in someone’s mailbox.
Cranford police shared home surveillance footage from Sunday around 10 p.m., showing a person walking up a driveway with something in hand.
Minutes later, the individual walks away, empty-handed.
Officers were unsure if the cat was domesticated or feral, but it did not belong to the residence where it was left, according to police.
Anyone with possible information can contact Detective Matthew Siessel of the Cranford Police Department at 908-709-7209.
