A woman has been ordered by the courts to keep her rottweiler under control.

Stevie Patricia Andrews, from Maldon Road, appeared at Sutton Magistrates' Court on Friday, January 25, after failing to control her rottweiler.

The court order, made after a complaint by Sutton Police, states that Andrews, 45, must keep a muzzle on her dog when it is outside the back or front of her flat.

She must also keep the dog under control at all times in public areas.
