Suspects Wanted in Theft of 19 Puppies from Pet Store

Gwinnett County police are trying to solve a burglary that involved a puppy-napping.

Two suspects are accused of breaking into a pet store located at 1848 Old Norcross Road in Lawrenceville (Georgia) at about 1:50 AM on April 10 and stealing $400 and 19 puppies that are worth approximately a combined $60,000.

The suspects, who have not yet been identified, allegedly entered the store by “smashing the front door,” according to police. “The incident was caught on surveillance video and shows the two suspects tossing the puppies into two green bags,” Corpral Collin Flynn said. “The breeds of the puppies included five English Bulldogs, four Yorkie-Poo’s, four Maltese, two Shih-Poo, one Shih Tzu, and three Morkies.
