Phoenix PD has detained at least 27 people.

PHOENIX - An alleged cockfighting ring has been busted in south Phoenix, according to Phoenix police, which currently has 27 people detained.

The Arizona Humane Society is assisting with the investigation and said more than 150 animals were seized including roosters, hens, ducks and several dogs. One rooster had to be euthanized because of its injuries.

Police say the bust started when a neighbor called worried about someone injured inside a home near 27th Avenue and Buckeye Road, but when police arrived, they found evidence of a cockfighting ring.
