Police have suspect in puppy snatching By Shannon Fiecke sfiecke@swpub.com savage pacer |
Shakopee Police think they know who snatched a 9-week-old Chihuahua puppy from the shakopee petland store around 11 a.m. yesterday.ÃÂ
âWe have a suspect and we're moving ahead with our investigation,â said Shakopee police Capt. Craig Robson in an update Tuesday morning.ÃÂ
It shouldn't have been too difficult for officers to develop a suspect since the store spotted the license plate number of the car the thief drove away in.ÃÂ
Store employees saw a white man, around 6-feet tall with a grey-knit hat, run out of the store with a nine-week-old the dogÃÂ ChihuahuaÃÂ after asking to see the puppy, according to shop owner Heather Latko.
The man was left to play with the puppy in a puppy room. Moments later, he fled with the dog in a dark blue Volkswagen Passat with the license plate 768-BDA.
His movements in the store were captured on surveillance video
Shakopee Police was immediately notified and aÃÂ lost pet alertÃÂ was issued by helpmefindMYPET.com.ÃÂ
This is at least the second time someone has stolen an animal from the Shakopee Petland.
Last summer, a woman walked out with a Persian kitten, which was later returned.ÃÂ
Petland Shakopee embeds its animals with a microchip from HelpmefindMYPET.com, a national registry and alert service for lost and stolen pets.
HelpmefindMYPET.com sent a photo and physical description of the puppy to the pet community within a 25-mile radius of the store.ÃÂ
