The Nanaimo RCMP is investigating a theft of ten, 8-week-old German Shepherd puppies. The incident occurred just before 3 AM on Monday June 26, 2023, from a backyard kennel, located in the 300 block of Black Diamond Drive. Since reporting the theft, five of ten puppies have been recovered and returned. (picture attached showing one of the stolen puppies)

The owner told police that her teenage daughter was woken by noise coming from their backyard. When her daughter went out onto their deck to see where the noise was coming from, she was shocked to find several unknown people running away with the puppies. She screamed, as the suspects, who were wearing toques and hoodies, ran to a waiting dark colored SUV, then drove off towards Jingle Pot Road.

The owner has reached out to various animal care groups and the community at large, and all have been very helpful in assisting the police with their investigation, said Reserve Constable Gary O’Brien of the Nanaimo RCMP.

If anyone has information on the whereabouts of the puppies, please call the Nanaimo RCMP non-emergency line at 250-754-2345.
