A man suspected of killing a dog during a burglary in West Hollywood has been arrested, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Anmol Bhatia, 27, was taken into custody on Sunday around 7 p.m. in Beverly Hills. The arrest followed a tip-off from the Beverly Hills Police Department, who recognized Bhatia from a description shared by deputies.
The incident occurred on September 4, when deputies responded to a burglary report on the 1200 block of Harper Avenue. Upon arrival, the apartment resident reported that their dog had been killed during the break-in. Security footage from the apartment showed a masked man entering the residence just after 11:30 p.m. and attacking the small dog until it became unresponsive.
Bhatia, who previously lived in the apartment but was recently evicted, is also accused of stealing items during the break-in. He has been booked into the West Hollywood Station on suspicion of burglary, vandalism, and animal cruelty…
