It's a Christmas miracle! 13 puppies stolen from pet shop recovered by police
POLICE IN NEW Hampshire in the US say they have collared the humans responsible for snatching 13 puppies from a pet store in a smash-and-grab dognapping.
A passer-by noticed a broken window at Bill’s Pet and Aquarium in Manchester on Tuesday morning and called police.
Sergeant Brian O’Keefe told WMUR-TV that an officer sent to investigate spotted several people nearby, including one who was carrying a puppy. Four teens were arrested after a foot chase.
The puppies were soon found at a home. The pooches, worth over $5,000, included chocolate Labrador retrievers, cockapoos, a Shar-Pei, Papillion and a cocker spaniel.
An animal control officer says a microchip scan matched paperwork provided by the store owner.
The four arrested, ages 17 and 18, were charged with receiving stolen property and other counts.
