Thieves raid house and steal dachshund puppy- £1,000 reward

Police are investigating the theft of a five-month-old dachshund puppy who was stolen from his home yesterday. Two men were captured on CCTV at around 5.39am before the burglary on Randolph

Street in Levenshulme, Manchester. Roland is described as “happy, confident and extremely friendly”. His owner, a 33-year-old woman who asked to remain anonymous, said Roland would have been

asleep in his bed in the kitchen at the time. Her car, a black Peugeot, was also taken along with her handbag. His owner said she bought him privately for £2,000 around three months ago.

down the street.  "They found my keys, which were in my handbag, and took Roland away in my car. I did not hear anything and from the CCTV footage, it was all really quick.” Roland has

a very distinctive marking on the back of his neck - half brown and half dapple. She added: "He is very friendly and I feel that he would be a very easy dog to steal. Roland loves

humans - he's happy, confident and extremely friendly. I just want him back. "I just woke up this morning and thought it was weird that he wasn't there - then I came

downstairs and could not see him. I realised when I saw all the drawers and cupboards open." In a statement, Greater Manchester Police said: "At around 8.20am today, Monday, we
