A four-month-old puppy tied up outside of a grocery store in downtown Toronto was stolen and police are searching for those allegedly responsible.

On July 12, a black and white husky named “Gucci” was tied up outside of Loblaw at 60 Carlton Street by its owner.

While the owner was inside the grocery store shopping, a man and a woman approached the dog. The pair allegedly untied the leash from a post before leaving the scene with the dog.

Investigators have released security camera images of two suspects wanted in connection with the case. As well, officers have released an image of “Gucci.”
