Police appeal for information after the three dogs were taken from a farm near Burton Agnes.
Humberside Police say they are trying to locate the three liver and white springer spaniels that were reported as stolen from a farm at Thornholme near Burton Agnes overnight between 11pm on Thursday 11 and 6am on Friday 12 February 2021.
The three dogs are described as all male, liver and white dogs. One is a 14 year-old with one eye and another has one black paw.
All three dogs were chipped and were reported as taken from an outside kennel on the farm.
Police say they have conducted enquiries in the area and had a number of lines of enquiry which have not led to the recovery of the three dogs.
Officers say:
"We are now appealing for anyone with any information that would lead us to reunite these dogs with their elderly owner, who is naturally very distressed and worried about them.
If anyone has any information, no matter how small please call us on our non-emergency number 101 quoting log 76 of 12 February 2021."
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.”
