The moment a man tried to bait dogs in a Canberra backyard has been caught on CCTV. Police were called to the home after the owners captured the man on camera sneaking down their Higgins driveway about 5am on Wednesday. The man was seen to lob several small items into the yard before hurrying away. Meat covered in a green chemical substance was later found in the backyard. Police said the dogs at the property did not eat the baited meat and were unharmed. They believe it to be an isolated incident. The crime could attract a maximum $1000 fine, six months in jail or both. If you recognise the man in the footage or saw something in Higgins on Wednesday morning, contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000, or report via the website at act.crimestoppers.com.au.
