Lady Gaga’s bulldogs are returned safe after armed robbery
Lady Gaga’s two French bulldogs have been found safe and unharmed after being stolen at gunpoint, police in Los Angeles said.
The pop and movie superstar offered a £350,000 reward for their return after her dog walker, Ryan Fischer, was shot in the heist in Hollywood on Wednesday. He is expected to make a full recovery.
A third dog, Miss Asia, had ran off during the shooting incident but the two stolen bulldogs, Koji and Gustav were handed in at the LAPD’S Olympic Community Police Station. Captain Jonathan Tippet, commanding officer of the LAPD’S robbery-homicide division, said: “I can confirm that the dogs have been located and are safe.”
The woman who dropped off the dogs appears to be “uninvolved and unassociated” with the robbery. Lady Gaga is in Rome where she is shooting a film but she had earlier pleaded for the dogs’ return as “an act of kindness”.
The Royal Mail is trialling a new uniform for its postmen and postwomen, saying it was designed to better reflect the modern delivery round.
The new-look uniform, the first change in more than a decade, retains Royal Mail’s red colour, and includes walking trousers and shorts, tops, jackets, gilets and headwear.
The new look has been based on feedback from postmen and postwomen across the UK.
The designs will be trialled for 12 weeks on a range of delivery rounds across the UK and, if successful, they will replace the current uniforms.
Ricky Mcaulay, Royal Mail field operations director, said: “Royal Mail postmen and postwomen are at the heart of the communities in which they work across the UK.
“Their highly recognisable red uniforms help cement this relationship of trust with our customers.
“We worked closely with our people to come up with these designs which are poised to help them in their highly physical jobs.”
