A Seaford family are desperate to be reunited with their family pet after it was stolen during a burglary in Seaford on Tuesday.
Frankston Crime Investigation Unit detectives are investigating the burglary which occurred in Quinn Street sometime between 7pm and 8pm on 21 June.

The offender also stole Leco's collar and lead, which is inscribed with his name and has the council registration details attached.
