A spaniel reported stolen from a an East Yorkshire farm in February has been found in Kent.

Keedy was one of three dogs reported as stolen from a farm near Burton Agnes in February.

Two of the dogs were recovered later in February but Keedy remained missing.

Now Humberside Police say that after renewed appeals on social media, which were shared by Kent Police, 2 year old Keedy has been handed in to a vets in Canterbury

The three dogs were chipped and were reported as taken from an outside kennel on the farm.

It's thought they will be reunited soon.

Wildlife and Heritage Crime Officer Rich Fussey spoke about recent concerns over dog thefts,

“We are aware of the fear of dog owners after a number of social media posts about dog thefts.

“We have not seen an increase in our area but would always ask for people to take some basic crime prevention measure to protect their own dogs.

“Report any suspicious activity to the police, if you see people checking out properties please call us to report your concerns.

“If your dog is kennelled outside please ensure these are secure and locked and install CCTV to monitor your property if at all possible.

“If you are out with your dog please keep your dog under full and proper control, in sight and avoid leaving your pet tied up in a public place and outside shops.

“We very much welcome the raised awareness of this type of incident and would ask owners to remain vigilant and report any concerns to us.”
