Such worrying reports of recent dog thefts. I’m very aware that I am in charge of people’s very precious pets and I’ll do everything I can to keep them safe. I’m keeping the dogs very close to me at all times and any wanderers will be kept within sight or on long leads at the moment.

DOG THEFTS – STIRLING & DUNBLANE
We are investigating two separate incidents of theft which occurred on Saturday, 27th March, 2021, where dogs have been stolen.
The first incident occurred in Scott Street, Stirling around 2pm, where a 4 year old bitch Shiatzu/Chihuahua cross; black, tan and brown marking was stolen after being driven off by a male in an old style Land Rover Discovery. This dog is currently pregnant and was wearing a pink collar with a pink bow at the front and has long whiskers and protruding teeth.
The second incident occurred between 2pm & 3.30pm, where a 5 month of Husky puppy has been stolen whilst unaccompanied and tied up outside a caravan at the Balhadie Filling station, Dunblane, after the owners were approached by a male driving an old style Land Rover Discovery. This dog is small, white with brown patches on its back with blue/grey eyes.
The description of the male involved in both incidents is white male in his late 30's, heavy built and around 5'10 in height with mousy brown, shaggy long hair with a shaggy brown beard. He was wearing a yellow high-vis waistcoat and jeans and may have been accompanied by a 10/11 year old white male child.
The vehicle is described as a dark blue Land Rover Discovery 4x4 vehicle, bearing a 3D registration plate to the rear.
