An Oakland man was in police custody Saturday on suspicion of involvement in a reported string of dog-on-dog attacks this fall.
Records show the man has not been charged with a crime. Still, investigators believe he and dogs he owned were involved in the attacks on other canines, including one mauling by two large dogs near Fairyland in Oakland that killed another dog in October.
The man was arrested Thursday and booked at Santa Rita Jail on suspicion of cruelty to animals and intentional killing of animals. Authorities said in October they believe the dogs were deliberately sicced on others by their owner.
Police said they have not found the dogs. Last month, investigators believed the dogs were potentially Cane Corsos and were involved in at least a half-dozen attacks in September and October.
