According to RCMP, the victim welcomed the men into her home after they indicated they were interested in purchasing a puppy from her recent litter. Once inside, it’s alleged one of the men grabbed an eight-week old puppy and ran outside.
“The homeowner followed them and got shoved to the ground while attempting to stop them from stealing her puppy,” RCMP said in a news release.
The puppy stolen is an eight-week-old bluenose French Bulldog valued at $4,000.
Investigators said both men got into a blue sports car where a woman was awaiting inside. The vehicle took off, heading eastbound on Highway 1A.
The first male is described as approximately 5’10 or 5’11 with well-styled short brown hair. He has a slender build and was wearing a blue jacket with a white polo shirt underneath, blue jeans and white Converse-style sneakers.
The second male is described as 5’6 or 5’7 with a thicker build, full lips, inset/slanted eyes and brown hair. He was wearing khaki beige pants, tapered at the bottom and a tan T-shirt with black geometric designs.
RCMP said the victim stated the suspects barely spoke English and told her they were from El-Salvador.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Cochrane RCMP at 403-851-8000 or contact Crime Stoppers.
