“At about 08:50hrs on Tuesday, 3 March, Spot was being walked by his owner, a man in his early 30s. As he approached the junction with Grovelands Road, two men got out of a white Mercedes CLA Sport. The driver of the car produced a knife and threatened the victim before stealing the puppy, which is only weeks old”, the police said.

The LMP  described the driver of the car  as a black man, aged about 20, with his hair in corn rows and a scar on his right cheek.

“This man was wearing a white or cream jacket with black patches on it, with a red outline. The passenger was also black, aged about 20 with short hair. This man was wearing a navy blue jacket with the same patches as the driver”, the LMP said.

The police are appealing for anyone who witnessed the robbery and  recognised the suspect’s description  or has any information on Spot’s whereabouts to call police on 101 or contact via Twitter @MetCC. Please quote CAD 1632/03MAR.
