Never would he have thought that such a thing could happen right in front of his eyes and in his house … Fortunately, this man had the good idea to film the whole scene.
Unable to prevent him from acting, Ally McLaren managed to film the thief who escaped with Harvey, his Jack Russell Terriertwo years old this Tuesday morning. He did not hesitate to enter the driveway of his house in Meikleour, Perthshire in Scotland, and steal his microchipped dog who was in the garden. “It’s shocking. I’m still in a state of disbelief,” said Ally, 20. “I have been working from home since March and we have four working dogs in kennels outside the house.” Now, he says: “There is another dog inside who barks every time someone approaches. This morning, something baffled him, so I went to look out the window. of the living room “. It was then that he saw the man, standing near the kennel who grabbed his dog. “I couldn’t believe what I was seeing” admits Ally who immediately ran outside, her phone in her hand. He then yelled at the man: “What are you doing?”. Without being disassembled, the thief replied: “nothing”. Then he got into his car and drove off. This is where Ally had the reflex to take out her phone to film it.
Discover in the video posted by Daily Record, the thief fleeing:
A prowler seen a few weeks earlier on the property
The man was wearing Ellesse blue sweatpants, a camouflage jacket, a black mask and a blue beanie. Difficult with all that to manage to identify it. Nevertheless, the car, it was able to be widely disseminated via video. This is a blue Ford Focus, 5 doors from 2006 and the license plate is partially legible. Unfortunately, it was found abandoned in a field on the outskirts of Rattray.
What’s odd is that Ally said the theft happened just three weeks after a stranger came to the door of the isolated property. “He seemed very suspicious, but at least we thought he knew now that the house is occupied during the day, so he will leave us alone.” And for good reason, as Ally specifies: “for 30 years that my father has worked here, he has never heard of anything like that”.
Harvey, still wanted
A local agent, Pete Wishart, warned people to be vigilant and keep their animals out of sight, saying it was “sad to report that dog thieves are clearly operating in the Perthshire area”. In the meantime, an investigation is underway and anyone who sees a brown and white jack Russel is urged to notify the police.
