A man looking after a property where four sheep were mauled to death in Bellevue earlier this week has caught a dog roaming on the section.

Property owner Ryan Powell contact SunLive on Tuesday after all his sheep at his Aquavue Way property had been attacked by a dog.

Ryan is currently overseas, and the property is being looked after by another person who caught the dog on the property.

'I have just caught a dog at the end of the property and I've called animal control they are going to come and pick it up,” says the man who doesn't want his name used.

Apart from the location, there is nothing to connect the dog to the killings.

'I've been talking to a couple of young fellas who says they have seen in wandering before,” says the custodian.

'The dog is registered. It has actually got a name tag and a contact phone number on it. It is not an old dog, lucky if it's two years old I would say.”
