A young man has been charged with animal cruelty after allegedly running down and mutilating several adult and baby kangaroos.

Police were called to investigate reports of animal cruelty in September after authorities located CCTV footage of an unknown vehicle deliberately running over kangaroos in Running Stream, 60km northwest of Lithgow in NSW.

Following investigations, a 20-year-old man from Balgowlah Heights, on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, was hit with multiple charges on October 18. 

He was charged with torture; beat and seriously injure animal; recklessly beat and seriously injure animal; and driver not disclose identity of driver/passenger as required.
