New Jersey State Police say that four dogs found dead on the side of the Garden State Parkway last week may be associated with a dog-fighting ring.

Police say the dogs were found on the southbound side of the parkway in Aberdeen on Feb. 27. They say that the dogs’ remains were found inside four large “Retriever” brand dog food bags.

The dogs were described as pit bull mixes. Police said they had injuries “consistent with dog fighting.”

Anyone who might have information about the deaths is urged to call Troop “D” Holmdel - Criminal Investigation Office at 732-441-4500, ext. 7426.

Police say that anonymous tips are welcome.
