Officers are appealing for witnesses to what they described as an "extremely distressing" incident where the young cats appear to have been thrown out of a brown or gold vehicle.

It happened between 2pm and 2.15pm on Thursday on Water Skellgate and Bondgate Green in Ripon.

The vehicle was driving eastbound from the direction of Ripon towards the A61 bypass along Bondgate Green and onto Boroughbridge Road.

Anyone with information should call PC Matthew Scott on 101 or email [email protected], quoting reference number 12200204632.
