Yarra Crime Investigation Unit detectives are appealing for public assistance after a cavoodle was stolen during a burglary in Carlton North yesterday.
Investigators believe the offender/offenders have climbed the back fence of the Lygon Street home and broken in via a back sliding door sometime between 1pm and 7.15pm.
While there were signs the thief had rummaged through the home, it appeared the only thing stolen was 3-year-old Pearson who was locked inside at the time.
Investigators have released an image of Pearson in the hope someone may recognise him and contact police.
Any witnesses, anyone with CCTV/dashcam or anyone who saw anything suspicious is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or submit a confidential report online at www.crimestoppersvic.com.auExternal Link.
