Stolen puppies reunited with owner in Willesborough
Comments |
Six three-week-old puppies snatched in a burglary have been
found alive.
The animals were found in two separate locations following the
break-in at a house in Willesborough Lees and one man has been
arrested.
The burglary took place in Cornes Close last Saturday when the
six pets and computer equipment were stolen.
The Staffordshire bull terriers, worth a total of £1,500, had
not been weaned and police said the owners were concerned about
their welfare.
South Kent Police spokesman Rosy Alexander said: "Neighbourhood
officers made enquiries at an address in Ashford town centre and
three of the animals were found.
"Further inquiries lead to the recovery of the other three at a
house in Charing."
The puppies were believed to have suffered dehydration and were
taken to a vet.
They are recovering from being separated from their mother and
are expected to thrive.
Police say that an 18-year-old local man was arrested
yesterday on suspicion of burglary and theft from a
dwelling.
He has been bailed pending further enquiries until April 1.
