Pet Shop’s Devious Scheme: Fake Seizure Used to Steal Puppies
A brazen theft at Perfect Pets in Centennial, Colorado, USA, captured on security camera footage, has shocked the community. The incident, which took place in broad daylight, involved two individuals attempting to steal two British Bulldog puppies from the store.
In the footage shared by the Arabahoe Sheriff Department on social media, a man wearing a hat can be seen engaging the store cashier in conversation while his accomplice suddenly falls to the ground, feigning a seizure. As the thief lies on the floor, the puppies in the store start barking, alerting other customers to the situation.
While bystanders try to make sense of the situation, the second thief heads to a display case containing the valuable puppies. He swiftly removes the lock on the cage and grabs the two puppies, attempting to make a swift getaway. However, store employees quickly intervene, attempting to stop the thief as he tries to flee the store.
Despite the employees’ efforts, the thief manages to escape with the puppies. Store manager Bianca Rose Larsen expressed her shock and disgust at the thieves’ actions, stating, “He took them like a piece of meat. I am really proud of them,” referring to the stolen puppies.
In a surprising turn of events, a Good Samaritan returned one of the stolen puppies after seeing a news story about the theft. The woman had purchased the puppy from a street vendor in North Denver for $1,500 and promptly returned it to the store upon realizing it was one of the stolen dogs.
Authorities are still searching for the second thief involved in the theft. Anyone with information is urged to contact the Arabahoe Sheriff Department. It was also announced that a reward of $4,000 will be given for the safe return of the remaining stolen puppy.
The community is rallying together to ensure the safe return of the stolen puppies and to hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions.
