Police are asking the public to be cautious when walking their dogs after ground meat with pills was found in a dog-walking area in Etobicoke.

Police were notified that the meat was found over the past three days in the area of Lake Shore Boulevard and Palace Pier Court.

“We don’t know what was in the pills … some people use ground beef as a way to feed their dog different pills; it could be anything, we have no idea,” Const. David Hopkinson said.

Police could not get a sample of the pills because the meat was cleaned up, according to Hopkinson.

“I’m putting it out as a caution because a lot of people walk their dogs in the area.”

There is no description at this time of who might have left the meat.
