Dog Thieving c**ts Again


Recommended Posts

Just seen this on facebook

 

Kent police make an arrest and will be issuing this statement later:

A man has been arrested following a number of dog thefts in the Sittingbourne area in the last month.
Six dogs have been reported stolen since 22 January, although four of the animals have been recovered safe and well.
A 22 year old male from Sheerness has been arrested for the thefts and bailed pending further enquiries until 27 February.
... Officers would like to trace the driver of a white panel van with rear doors seen in the areas where many of the thefts occurred.
Investigating officer Detective Sergeant Jo Kirkham said: ‘We fully understand the devastating impact this has had on the owners and are following up a number of lines of enquiry in an effort to reunite them with their dogs.
‘We also fully appreciate the anxiety that these thefts have created with dog owners in the area and we will continue to do everything in our power to put a stop to these crimes and arrest those responsible.
‘We would like anybody who may have witnessed any of these thefts, seen this white van or who have any information at all to come forward and let us know, as even the smallest bit of information could help.
“We have recovered most of the animals taken and are working hard to find the missing dogs.
“I would encourage all dog owners to be vigilant in the meantime – keep a close eye on your pet. Microchipping your dog is a great idea, as it helps us reunite animals we find with their owners quickly. Always keep your dog on a lead when you are out for a walk and supervise your pet in the garden – and if you see something or someone suspicious, report it to us.”
Anybody with any information is asked to call Kent Police on 10, quoting crime reference XY/2555/13, or contact Kent Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.
