West Midlands Police are seeking information after a litter of puppies were stolen at knifepoint from a Druids Heath home yesterday morning (Thursday 10th June).
The five female Old Tyme Bulldogs were stolen when two men entered the property in Shrewton Avenue at around 10.20am, threatening a woman with a knife and taking her phone.
The distinctive puppies are just 4 weeks old and still need to be in the care of their mother.
A West Midlands Police spokeswoman said: “We understand two men entered the property, before threatening a woman with a knife and taking her phone, along with five bulldogs, belonging to a friend.
“This is understandably a traumatic experience for both the victim and the owner of the dogs.
“Our investigations are in the early stages, and we are appealing for anyone with any information or witnessed the incident to contact us as soon as possible.”
Local lost dog charity K9 Search UK launched an appeal with a full description of the puppies.
