A puppy stolen from a family by three masked men has been found safe and well.

Boss, a 13-week-old Staffordshire Bull Terrier, was stolen during a raid in Trefoil Place, Greater Leys, Oxford, on Sunday.

Three men with their faces covered and carrying a knife and CS spray burst into the house and took the dog following a messy search.

Oxford CID recovered the dog shortly after 2pm today from a house in Sorrel Road, Blackbird Leys.

Det Con Mark Stalder said: “He has been found safe and well and we are pleased to be able to reunite him with his owners. Both parties seemed very pleased to see one another.”

Anyone with information should contact police on 08458 505505 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

A 23-year-old man arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary has been bailed to reappear at St Aldate’s police station on May 4.
