In a shocking incident that unfolded on Thursday, October 26th, two individuals brazenly stole a female French Bulldog named Lola in the peaceful village of Fair Oak. Lola’s owners are now appealing to the community for assistance in locating their beloved pet.
The incident occurred in the afternoon on Allington Lane in Fair Oak when a car stopped to help Lola, who was seen wandering loose. A white MK7 Transit Tipper, carrying two males, pulled up alongside Lola, claiming they had lost the dog. This distinctive white flatbed vehicle, equipped with a prominent orange light on top, halted its journey between 15:15 and 15:25 on Allington Lane. The thieves then seized Lola and fled in the direction of Fair Oak.
Desperate to reunite with their furry family member, Lola’s owners are urging anyone who may have dashcam or CCTV footage recorded during this time to come forward. The van in question is believed to have arrived from the West End direction.
Local law enforcement has been notified of the theft and is actively investigating the matter. Authorities are working closely with the community to identify the culprits and locate Lola, who holds a special place in her owners’ hearts.
Efforts to identify the van’s registration number are underway, with the assistance of available footage. The public is encouraged to contribute any information they may have, no matter how small, to help expedite Lola’s safe return and bring the thieves to justice.
If you have any information that could aid in locating Lola and identifying the van seen in the footage, please do not hesitate to contact the police at 101 or through their official website. Alternatively, you can report information entirely anonymously to the independent charity Crimestoppers by dialling 0800 555 111 or visiting their website.
The community’s vigilance and cooperation are essential in ensuring Lola’s safe return to her loving home, and in holding those responsible for this audacious act accountable for their actions.
