Huge group of rats spotted feasting in Doncaster shopping centre car park

This shocking photo shows a group of seven rats in the Centurion Retail Park, Bentley, feasting on scraps of food in broad daylight.

Derek Collins, who took the photo and shared it on Facebook, said: “I was horrified.

"This is what happens when food is discarded.

"This was Bentley in the car park near Home Bargains. Literally hundreds of rats in the hedges – some were huge.”

Mr Collins says he has reported the issue of the rodents to Doncaster Council.

The UK’s rat population is said to have grown massively during the coronavirus lockdown and it is the latest in a number of rat sightings in Doncaster.

In May, rats ‘as big as Jack Russell terriers’ were said to be plaguing Balby while last year, rats were spotted in broad daylight near to the Mansion House.
