Ten-week-old bulldog puppy stolen in Taunton robbery

A 10-week-old French bulldog has been stolen in a robbery in Taunton

Avon and Somerset Police have now launched an appeal for information following the incident which happened in Pickeridge Close at about 10.30am on Thursday 16 February.

Two men were involved, with one of the men reported to have punched the dog's owner.

A man in his 60s was left with bruising.

The suspects are both described as white men:

1. A medium build and clean shaven man with black hair, wearing a quilted jacket.
2. A man aged in his 50s, about 5ft 8ins tall, slim and clean shaven, wearing a hat and a jacket with a furry lining.

Officers say they are keen to trace the two men pictured who were seen in the area walking and wheeling a dark-coloured mountain bike.

Both are white and wearing dark-coloured clothing and black and white trainers.

The stolen puppy, named Tok, is chocolate brown with a white stripe running down the centre of his ribs.

The men in the picture and anyone who recognises them or who has any other information which could help the investigation can call 101 and give the reference 5223037827.
