A beautiful white pitbull has been reunited with their family after the dog was shamelessly stolen by a brazen thief who lifted the dog by the collar over the property wall and simply carried the dog away over his shoulder.
Video footage of the incident, which took place in Strand, made its way to social media and caught the eye of a quick-thinking alert officer.
According to Cape Town law enforcement spokesperson Wayne Dyason, the officer recognised the property from the footage and soon confirmed what had happened with the owners.
The officer set about finding the brazen “dognapper” and soon received information from his contacts matching the description of the dog. The pitbull was found tied to a pole on another property in Strand with residents indicating that the dog was already sold to a man in Nomzamo who was set to collect, as per Times Live.
Unfortunately, the suspect was not there but officers were given a name and he should be arrested when the owners lay charges, reports IOL.
