Police issue an appeal after six cocker spaniels, some pedigree, were taken from their homes in Devon in three separate incidents.

 As many as six dogs have been stolen from their homes in Devon in a spate of pre-Christmas thefts.

Police in the county are appealing for information after receiving three reports of dog thefts since 15 December, half of which were pedigree cocker spaniels.

In the first incident, three pedigree cocker spaniels were taken from kennels in North Molton between 9am and 5pm on 15 December.

One was a female, seven-year-old black Devonshire Faith spaniel, the second, an 18-month-old black Hillside Harriet female with a white bib, and the third dog was a gold Badgeberry Troufseau Hope spaniel.

On the same day, also in North Molton, between 7pm and 9pm, a cocker spaniel called Ivy was taken from the rear garden from her kennel.

She was found dead at Bommertown Cross at approximately 8am the following morning.
