FRISCO, Texas — Police are asking for the public’s help in locating a suspect who is accused of stealing a puppy from a Petland in Frisco earlier this week.
According to a news release, Petland employees said that, just after 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 24, a woman asked an employee to allow her to visit with an 11-week-old Miniature Schnauzer in one of the socialization rooms at the store, which located in the 2900 block of Preston Road in Frisco.
Petland says the woman visited with the pup for about seven minutes, and then spoke with the store employee again about her interest in purchasing it.
After the employee went to retrieve the puppy’s records, the store’s surveillance video captured the woman quickly walking out of the front door of the store, and then running to a vehicle.
The employee came back as the woman was exiting and tried to get a read of the license plate on her vehicle but was unsuccessful, Petland said.
The following photo of the puppy has been released below. She's primarily black in color with some brown markings and floppy ears.
WFAA reached out to the Frisco Police Department, who said they did take a report from Petland but had no further details on the investigation.
If you recognize the suspect or have any information on her location or the puppy’s location, call Frisco PD at 972-292-6000.
