POLICE are asking for help after a "group of males" allegedly beat an 18-year-old, took his belongings and let his dog loose on the streets.

Grandad Roy Tucker from Rogiet appealed for help on Facebook on Thursday, March 21, after his shaken grandson arrived at his house.

“We had an incident last night with my grandson arriving at my front door at 0.15am with cuts, bruises, no shoes, no phone, no coat or body warmer, dog AWOL, dog lead and house key with his bag," he said.

“He was extremely upset due to being attacked by a large group of males in the Haywain Pub area.

“I have lived here in Rogiet for 23 years and am saddened to hear this is going on in a small friendly community,” he said.

“Thank you to the people who found and held his dog until I drove around to locate him.”
