A decomposing corpse of a dog has been found in a bin bag on a path.

The discovery was made on a pathway leading to Mossgiel Crescent in Linlathen, Dundee.

Police were called before the council was alerted on Monday.

A Dundee City Council spokeswoman said: "We are in possession of the animal now.

"We are trying to find the owner."

A Scottish SPCA spokeswoman said the incident has been reported to the police but the organisation was not made aware of it.
