Just after 1am at the Top Dog Pet Store in Gardena, California last November, these four masked thieves broke in and headed for the prized pets. And while alarms sounded and the dogs barked, these suspects dragged the dogs’ cages straight to their getaway vehicle: an unmarked white Chevy cargo van with California plates, 8 T 1 8 9 8 2 — that was waiting in the parking lot.
It’s concerning footage for any animal lover… and we truly hope these little guys are okay. The burglars managed to steal twelve of the purebred dogs, including puppies worth almost one hundred thousand dollars. As well as around two thousand dollars in cash from the register. And all of it happened in under five minutes.
