A couple residing in West Hollywood is reeling from the shock of their beloved dog being forcefully snatched by armed robbers right outside their home Monday night.
The dog, Capone, an almost two-year-old English bulldog, became the target of a brazen theft while he and his owners were out for an evening walk. The incident occurred as they were gathering items from their car on Olive Drive, close to 11:45 p.m, according to KTLA.
Suddenly, a group of three individuals in a black sedan made an aggressive approach, confronted the couple with a firearm, and issued a chilling ultimatum to surrender their dog.
In the chaos, one assailant whisked Capone away to their vehicle, while another intruder rifled through their car. Although various items were scattered, only an old security badge was reported missing, with a noticeable sum of money left untouched.
Despite their efforts to chase down the vehicle, the perpetrators escaped with Capone.
The couple has since been scouring their neighborhood looking for the dog.
Did the bicycle ambassadors give chase?
Yes! They commanded that if they sat and gave the puppy back, they’d get a treat.
