7 of 8 puppies taken after suspect stole woman's car from U Street alleyway brought back to owner
WASHINGTON - Seven of eight puppies that were taken by a suspect who stole a woman's car in Southeast have been reunited with their owner, D.C. police say.
A community member found them and turned them into a district station.
The car with the eight puppies inside was taken from the 1700 block of U Street, SE, just before 1 p.m. on Saturday, according to police.
The victim told police she had her car keys with her and thought she had locked the door after loading the eight puppies into the vehicle. But the vehicle was unlocked and running next to her house.
The woman told police she couldn't have been in the house for more than a couple of minutes, but when she came back outside, the car was no longer in the alleyway where it was parked and the 5-week-old American bulldogs were gone.
The car was also recovered.
Anyone with any information on the location of the last puppy or information about the suspect is asked to call police at (202) 727-9099 or text a tip to 50411.
