Staffordshire Police are appealing for information after a puppy was stolen from an address in Burslem.

Officers were called to a property on North Road at around 7.50am yesterday morning (17 January) following reports of a burglary.

A window had been smashed and damage had been caused to the front door before a five-month-old puppy was stolen from inside.

The puppy is a cross between a Husky and a German Shepherd, mostly black in colour with brown patches on his legs and face.

Police are asking anyone who saw anything suspicious or has CCTV or dashcam footage to get in touch on Facebook, Twitter, or by calling 101, quoting incident number 079 of 17 January.
