Dog Theft on the Rise

With the Covid-19 Lockdown has come an unprecedented ownership of Pets, with Dogs probably being  the most popular.

But sadly the side effect of this popularity is an unprecedented rise in prices, which in turn makes it far more appealing to the wrong type of people, some have realised that they can steal a Dog with little risk of being caught and they can easily make a tidy profit. These people work on the theory of Risk & Reward.
