A dog that was reportedly stolen in Poole has been reunited with its owners. One man has been arrested.

It is reported that at around 3.30pm on Friday 23rd April 2021 a German Shepherd puppy called Bear was stolen from outside Tesco Express on The Quay.

Bear was on a lead when it is alleged that a man bent down and unclipped his lead, before running off with him.

Following enquiries, Bear has been located at an address in Poole and reunited with his owners. We would like to thank the members of the public who came forward with information following the original appeal.

A 35-year-old Poole man has been arrested on suspicion of theft and is currently assisting officers with their enquiries.
