Police Continue To For Stolen Bulldog Puppy

Police have appealed for information on the whereabouts of a rare bulldog puppy, believed to be worth around £16,000.

The bulldog was snatched from its breeders home.

It is understood a man had come to the home in October interested in buying the puppy. However, the man ran off with the dog, which was eight weeks old at the time.

Five arrests have been made to date during the investigation, but the dog has not been recovered. Police said they believe the dog is in the Oxford area.

Det Con Eloise Lock, from Surrey Police, asked the public to watch their neighbours for "unusual behaviour".

She said: "We still need to find the puppy and return her to the rightful owner.

"If you have noticed any unusual behaviour by your neighbours, or anybody you know in relation to any new pets they have, we need to hear from you."
