Police Find 10 Dogs Inside Vernon Hills Home

VERNON HILL, IL — Officers from the Vernon Hills Police Department assisted members of the Mundelein Police Department with serving a search warrant at 9 a.m. Saturday at a home in the 1000 block of Pine Grove Court in Vernon Hills. Members of the Northern Police Alarm System (NIPAS) also helped serve the search warrant at the single-family home, Vernon Hills Police said, where they found several dogs inside the home.

Although police said the discovery of the dogs was unrelated to the search warrant, they contacted Lake County Animal Control.

Vernon Hills Police said the department continues to investigate the circumstances involving the dogs to determine whether charges are appropriate.
