LONDON, England – Policemen at the London Metropolitan Police are appealing to the public’s help after a puppy was stolen in a knifepoint robbery in Orpington.
The stolen puppy, according to the police is a British bulldog, named Spot and was stolen by two men at Lullingstone Crescent.
“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.
