Police are investigating a report that someone may have burned two raccoons alive in Warren.

A woman from Hillsdale Dr. NW told police on Wednesday that a man she knows left her a voicemail claiming he had done something terrible.

The woman said when she called the man back, he told her that when he found two raccoons in a trash can, he closed a lid, taped it shut, and set the can on fire, burning the raccoons alive.

The woman told police that the man also said he saw the raccoons in his yard the previous week and fired shots at them.

The report doesn’t say that any charges have been filed but cites an Ohio law making it illegal to torture an animal.
