Stealing at Mount Isa

When five four-week-old puppies were reported stolen from a Townview home on Monday, Mount Isa police snapped into action.

Around 4pm, the owner of the missing litter attended Mount Isa Police Station to report the theft of the five Shepherd/Husky pups from their yard in Townview.

The investigation quickly led police to homes in Pioneer where they located two puppies and Happy Valley where they located one pup. The three puppies were returned home, safe and well by 8.30pm but two were still missing.

On Tuesday morning, police located the remaining two puppies at an address in Townview and returned them to their extremely grateful and appreciative family.

Two juveniles are assisting police with the investigation.

Mount Isa police thank the community for their assistance in locating all five dogs safe and well so quickly.
