Three dogs worth over 10k were stolen from a pet place located on Beamer Road near San Jacinto College South in SE Houston.
Footage shows a group of 4 walking into the business with a small dog. Two female subjects in the group then walked into another room where puppies were stored. They were seen taking two puppies and then handing one of them off to a man, who walked out the store with the puppy in his pocket.
One female subject is seen in the video concealing one puppy under a sweater.
The stolen puppies are purebred French Bulldogs, which are highly sought after for their value.
The thieves executed the theft with precision, suggesting prior planning. Police are urging anyone with information to come forward to help apprehend the perpetrators.
