BIRMINGHAM, Al.
The Jefferson County sheriff's office says a $5,000 reward is being offered in a case involving what appears to be a dog fighting operation.
Sheriff's Department spokesman Randy Christian says the anonymous reward stems from the discovery last month of 12 pits bulls chained on wooded property. Christian says the dogs were discovered by firefighters battling a blaze on the property.
He says deputies and firefighters cut the chains and carried the dogs to safety.
Christian says an investigation revealed cages and a treadmill used to train the dogs, and that several of the dogs had scars consistent with fighting.
He says the reward is for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
