Police appeal after eight puppies stolen from home spotted in city
STOLEN eight-week-old cockapoo puppies have been reportedly spotted in the Bristol area, more than 20 miles from their Gloucestershire home.
The four pooches are said to have disappeared from a property in Berkeley on Saturday, August 28, between 11.30am and 12.55pm.
Avon and Somerset police now say there have been reported sightings of the pups in the city, more than 20 miles away from their Berkeley home.
A spokesman from Gloucestershire Constabulary said: “We can confirm that investigating officers are aware of possible sightings in the Bristol area and are looking into these.”
In an appeal launched over the weekend, the missing pups were said to have been taken by unknown offenders from the Vinecroft Road home in the Wanswell area of Berkeley.
The two-month-old cockapoos are described as a chocolate brown tri coloured boy who has yellow eyebrows and markings on his legs, a chocolate girl with a tiny spot of white on her chest, a chocolate girl with white back paws and white on her chest and a black girl with ginger eyebrows, a ginger muzzle, ginger legs and white on her chest.
Reports on social media have placed the puppies in the Little Stoke area since the theft, being sold out of a car boot.
