There was a significant police presence Friday due to an ongoing investigation involving a Massachusetts kennel.

According to Police Chief Scott Dumas on Saturday, August 27, Rowley Police responded to a report of four goats that were walking on Route 1 and worked with Animal Control to round up the goats, which had not been reported missing.

Rowley Police and Animal Control identified the Hydrant Regency, 104 Newburyport Turnpike, as the home of the goats. While returning the goats, Animal Control noticed some concerning issues at the kennel, which led to a follow-up investigation by Rowley Police and Animal Control in collaboration with the MSPCA and Animal Rescue League of Boston.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Evidence Response Team is assisting the investigation, which remains ongoing, and there was a significant police presence on the property on Friday.

The kennel has been closed since August 29. Animals being housed on the property have been returned to their owners, while the goats are in the custody of the MSPCA.
