Many of you have contacted me over the past few weeks about the rise in dog theft across the country. This is a very concerning issue, and I am pleased that the Home Secretary is looking at upgrading pet theft to a more serious offence, meaning stronger penalties could apply.
If you have any information about particular incidents, suspicious activity or illegal puppy farms, I would urge you to contact Surrey Police by clicking here or calling 101.
I also came across some useful advice from the RSPCA on measures you can put in place to help prevent your pet from being stolen or becoming a target. You can read the article here.
