FOUR eight week old Cockapoo puppies which disappeared from a property in Berkeley on Saturday are now believed to have been spotted in the boot of a car near Bristol.
After a police appeal, the sighting was reported, with photographic evidence, and officers are now following up on the lead.
This follows the suspected theft of the puppies on Saturday, when officers were called with a report that unknown offenders had entered a property on Vinecroft Road in the Wanswell area of Berkeley and the owner's puppies were gone.
The homeowners believe that this took place between 11.30am and 12.55pm and recognised that things had been moved within the house. It is not known if anything else was taken.
The puppies are a chocolate brown tri coloured boy who has yellow eyebrows and markings on his legs, a chocolate girl with a tiny spot of white on her chest, a chocolate girl with white back paws and white on her chest and a black girl with ginger eyebrows, a ginger muzzle, ginger legs and white on her chest.
