Police received the report from a resident who discovered the heads in the trash bin behind a CVS store on South Vermont Avenue and West Slauson Avenue. It was not clear whether the dogs were dead before their heads were severed, according to investigators with the LAPD Animal Cruelty Task Force.
The dogs' bodies have not been recovered. Someone apparently removed the heads with a sharp object at a different location and transported them to the trash bins, investigators said.
The task force plans to review surveillance video from cameras in the area.
The dogs were described as a chocolate Labrador mix and a German shepherd mix.
Anyone with information is asked to call ACTF detectives at 213-486-0450.
