Police are searching for a suspect that allegedly stole a dog at New Westminster SkyTrain station around 6:15 p.m. on June 1.
The owners secured the small dog on a leash outside of one of the shops inside the station at 800 Carnarvon Street and went inside the store.
Police say the owners came out of the store to find that the dog had been removed from his leash and was missing.
Officers searched the area and watched video surveillance showing a Caucasian female, approximately 40-years-old, leaving the area holding a small dog in her arms.
The missing dog is named Jackson and he is described as an 11-year-old Brussels Griffon and Chihuahua mix.
“We’re doing everything that we can to try to locate and return Jackson to his owners. Part of our search includes identifying the female in the video surveillance so we can speak with her about this alleged theft,” says Sergeant Jeff Scott.
Police are asking anyone that may have seen the dog or recognize the female suspect to call 604-525-5411.
