Teens Charged in Assault on Vet and Dog

0:00On April 21st, two teenage boys face youth court in New Townards this week over an assault on a search and rescue volunteer in his dog. The 13-year-old and 115-year-old showed up charged with a fray, causing bodily harm to Ryan Gray and, in one case, animal cruelty. All four suspects, including another 15-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, face joint afraid charges from the March 27th, incident on High Street in Bangor. The other 15-year-old boy skipped court after getting death threats that forced him to move. Meanwhile, the girl had no good reason for missing it, so the judge issued an arrest warrant right there. Ryan Gray, a war veteran and founder of Canine Search and Rescue, was just walking his dog max when a group attacked them. He ended up with a broken nose, broken tooth, bruised eyes, and whiplash injuries, while Max got kicked and punched and needed a vet check. Police linked all four to the charges, and the boys who appeared got the rundown.

1:00Prosecutors asked for a delay since the full case file needs about four more weeks. The judge switched their police bail to court bail with a no-contact rule between them and set the next hearing for mid-May, keeping this messy. Situation on hold for now.
