On September 28th at 3:00pm the Surrey RCMP was contacted after an 8 week old pit bull named “Tank” had been stolen from its owner. The owner, who had advertised the puppy for sale online, was contacted by a potential buyer and a meeting was arranged at Fleetwood Park near 80th Avenue and 160th Street. At the meeting, two male suspects met the victim and one grabbed the puppy and ran off. The second male grabbed the victim’s cell phone and punched her in the face. The pair was seen leaving in a car that was possibly a brown Toyota Tercel.
Police are seeking the identity of the suspects and location of the puppy. The suspects are described as both being South Asian males in their 20’s. One suspect was wearing a black hoodie with “Crooks” and a picture of Monopoly’s “Rich Uncle Pennybags” on it. The second male was wearing a blue sweatshirt and pullover red hoody.
Tank is described as a black pit bull with white accents on his chest, feet, and chin. He has a very distinctive small white line that runs over his nose.
