Do you recognise these 4 dogs believed to have been stolen in Bedfordshire?

Bedfordshire Police carried out the operation in Hertfordshire as part of their investigation into a number of dogs being stolen from a kennels in Wilden in September.

Twelve dogs were recovered as a result of the warrant.

Dave Brecknock, the investigation officer investigating the kennel thefts, said: “We know the massive emotional impact that these dogs being stolen has had on their owners.

“Our hearts go out to them and we want to reassure people that we have put a substantial amount of time, effort and care into finding the people responsible, and our investigation is very much ongoing.

“We have managed to reunite the majority of the dogs we recovered with their owners, but we’ve had no luck with these last four so we are appealing to anyone who can help us find the rightful owners to come forward.

“If you believe one of the dogs is yours, then we would ask for proof of this, with a minimum being a photo of you with the dog.”

Three people arrested in connection to the dog thefts as a result of the warrant in Hertfordshire were re-bailed by police earlier this month.

Anyone with information about the dogs or who believes they are the rightful owner and has proof of this, can call police on 101, quoting reference number 40/49974/20.
