Kajirin Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 http://www.vicpolice...-dognapped.html Dognapped Sunday, 10 February 2013 19:36 Police are appealing for witnesses to help locate Jaffa the Staffy who was stolen in Bentleigh East last Tuesday. Police have been told the Staffordshire cross Kelpie was tied up outside a supermarket on Centre Road when he was taken just after 12.30pm. The female owner is devastated about the loss of her 8-month-old puppy. Investigators have reviewed CCTV which shows a man taking the faithful pooch who resisted going with the stranger. The thief was last seen running along Centre Road carrying the dog under his arm. The offender is perceived as being Caucasian in appearance, aged in his 20s with a shaved head, thin build and protruding ears. He was wearing a black t-shirt, blue jeans and brown boots, carrying a black back-pack. Investigators have released images of Jaffa the dog and a man that may assist with their enquiries. Caulfield police is urging anyone who may have information as to the whereabouts of the dog to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit www.crimestoppers.com.au.

A good reason not to tie your dog up outside the supermarket... I agree with both these posts. I also wonder what will happen to the thief? The article only said he was being interviewed.

megan_ Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 This is my local area - there are almost always dogs tied up outside the shops - so risky. I'm glad they caught him, especially since brindle staffy x's are so common it would have been hard to ID the dog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
