A 39 year old man from Whitby is in trouble following an animal complaint in the parking lot of Outlet Collection at Niagara.

Cops broke the driver's side window after not being able to find the owner who arrived a short time later.
The man is facing an unnecessary suffering offence and will appear in court at a future date.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Niagara Regional Police Service.
