Police officers in Devon and Cornwall kept a dog in a cage for two years without exercise.

The dog, Stella, was seized in 2014 and kept in a small, 3-foot-by-9-foot cage in Devon since then, the BBC reported.

Devon and Cornwall Police didn’t say why the dog, a pitbull-like breed, was kept in the cage without exercise for such a long period of time. Officials determined the animal was potentially dangerous. 

A worker at the kennel where Stella was being kept was told by police not to exercise dogs held under the Dangerous Dogs Act.
