Police seek man who took a puppy and 4 kittens from Barrie, Ontario, pet shop

BARRIE, Ont. – Police say they’re trying to track down a man who allegedly stole a puppy and four kittens from a central Ontario pet store.

Investigators say the animals were taken from the Barrie, Ont., shop early Sunday morning.

They say video surveillance shows a suspect forcibly entering the pet store through the front door and walking directly to the back of the store.

It’s alleged he removed the puppy and kittens from their cages and left the store with the animals in a plastic bag.

Police say they are concerned for the well-being of the animals as they have only had their first round of vaccinations and require ongoing care.

The puppy is described as red-haired nine-week-old cockapoo, while the four eight-week-old kittens are of mixed colour.
