An image of three teenagers wanted in connection with the drowning of a cat from Battersea Dogs and Cats home which belonged to HMS Belfast has been released.

Police believe Kilo the cat, which had been adopted by the ship's crew from Battersea Dogs and Cats home, was thrown from the gang plank connecting HMS Belfast to the dock in London Bridge on February 9 this year.

His body has not been found.

The CCTV image of a boy and two girls was taken from a street camera at the time of the incident.

A police spokesman said: "The actions of the people responsible for this are truly despicable, and they need to be caught as soon as possible.

"Kilo was beginning to feel at home of the ship after the crew had taken him in from a Battersea Dog and Cats home and was a great companion to those who serve on the ship."

If anyone has information about these people, please contact Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 quoting the reference numbers on the image (4219, 4220 and 4221).
