THREE Jack Russell dogs stolen from a home in Welwyn on Monday have been found safe in Totteridge.

Poppy, Moses and Tea Bar were found in Dollis Valley Drive at 10pm last night, Wednesday.

Two men, wearing dark clothing, were spotted removing the dogs from a white van and then tying them to a lamp post in a park, opposite the Ridge flats.

PC Craig Whiteaker, from the local crime unit, said: “The owner of the dogs is delighted to have them back, but we need the public's help in trying to trace these men and the van.

“Think back to last night, did you see these men or the van? Or did you see anyone acting suspiciously?

Any information, no matter how small, may help us trace these men."

Anyone with information should call police via the non-emergency number on 0845 3300222 quoting reference B1/11/496.
