Chihuahua puppy stolen from breeder in Market Drayton
Police officers are appealing for information after a teacup Chihuahua puppy was stolen from a breeder in Market Drayton earlier this week.
The puppy was advertised for sale on various online selling pages including Pre-Loved, the breeder received a phone call at around 5.30pm on Wednesday 13 May from a man asking to come and view the puppies that evening.
At around 7pm the same night two men arrived at the house on Sutton Road, Tern Hill in a white van. One of the men got into a discussion with the breeder about the details of the puppy and asked her to bring out the father of the puppies. The breeder went into her garden to fetch the other dog and when she returned saw that the two men had gone. She then realised one of the puppies had been taken.
The puppy which has been taken is a nine week old black teacup Chihuahua with tan eyebrows and tan paws. The puppy has not been vaccinated or micro chipped. Unfortunately there is no photograph available.
The suspects are both white and thought to be in their twenties. Both the men are described as having short dark hair and dressed smartly in bright 'summery' clothing. They told the victim that they were from the London area, but did not have London accents.
The vehicle they were in was a white van, possibly a Ford Transit and left the scene in the direction of the A41.
If anyone has any information on this incident or sees a similar puppy being sold they are urged to call police on 101, quoting incident 606 13th May 2015. Alternatively, information can also be given anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or via their website.
