Police are appealing for help in relation to an incident of handling stolen goods in Newmarket where two dogs were found.
On Saturday, February 4, officers from the Sentinel West team stopped a white Ford Transit tipper van towing a caravan on Newmarket High Street.
Whilst talking to the occupants two dogs were noticed in a wooden box in the rear of the bed of the vehicle.
Having scanned both dogs, both brown Spaniels, for microchips one came back as stolen from Yorkshire, potentially from the Doncaster area.
The dogs, named Bramble and Bella, (pictured above) have been seized by police and both occupants arrested.
A 24-year-old male was arrested on suspicion of handling stolen goods, as was a 22-year-old woman. Both were taken to Bury St Edmunds Police Investigation Centre for questioning and they were subsequently released under investigation.
Police are appealing for help to identify the owner(s) of the dogs to come forward.
Anyone who has knowledge of the dogs or where they came from should contact Bury St Edmunds police, quoting crime number 37/6966/23.
