It certainly was a ‘dog’s day’ for two 6-week-old Husky puppies that were recently stolen from a front yard and returned to their owners after being tracked down by police.

Smithfield police were investigating another matter in Kewarra Beach when they were approached by the owners of the puppies who reported the theft. Neighbourhood enquiries by police drew no bone causing the officers to dig further.

The investigation trail led the officers to a unit in Clifton Beach and a home in Smithfield were the precious pooches were recovered. After a quick ride in the police car the excited puppies were returned back to their owner, after a few cuddles of course.

A 13-year-old girl has been charged with enter a premises and commit an indictable offence and will be dealt with under the provisions of the Youth Justice Act 1992. Police investigations are continuing.
