ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Six pit bulls were rescued from an alleged dogfighting ring in Orange County.
Investigators said the six dogs were found injured and another dead when deputies arrived at a home on North Ohio Avenue in Orlando on Friday.
The animals were being treated by Orange County Animal Services.
Deputies said it was a neighbor who called and gave them the tip about the alleged dogfighting.
A neighbor WFTV spoke with was surprised when he learned what happened, saying, "I never seen that going on. I've been living here for three years. I never known a dog fight to be going on."
Five people were arrested on Friday, but their names were not released.
Authorities said most of them have posted their $1,000 bail and were released.
