Security footage from Nessie’s Puppies in South Florida shows a man and a woman stealing a puppy in front of two children.
In the video, what appears to be a family of four walks towards the puppy display.
The man hops over a small fence that separates the puppies from customers and grabs the teacup Yorkie puppy out of its cage.

He hands the dog over to the woman, who hides it under her long skirt.
Store worker Gaby Ortega told NBC Miami that she noticed something was wrong when the family exited the store in a hurry.
“They didn’t even look at me,” she said. “So immediately I was like something’s wrong. This is not normal.”
The puppy is valued to be worth $1,500 and police are reviewing the video to try and find the culprits.
