A five-year-old boy had his new puppy stolen through a kitchen window.
The boy's mum, Karen Higgins, first knew something was wrong when she heard Vitani, her 15-month-old French Bulldog 'aggressively' barking in the kitchen after she left her and their new 12-week-old puppy, Stitch, in their beds. The 30-year-old then heard dishes crashing and a candle she got for mothers day smash on the window ledge at around 10pm on Thursday, May 19.
The mum-of-two ran straight to the back room of her home on Wilburn Street, Walton, and saw her fence was wide open. She then ran into the street shouting 'somebody is in my house' and called police.
