One Suspect Arrested After Palm Springs Dog-Napping; Missing Yorkie Still Not Found
PALM SPRINGS, Calif. — Authorities in Southern California have arrested one suspect linked to the theft of two Yorkshire Terriers last month in Palm Springs — but one of the beloved pets and another suspect remain missing.
According to the Palm Springs Police Department, the dognapping took place several weeks ago when two Yorkies were taken from their owner. Surveillance video captured a woman carrying one of the dogs near a parking area shortly after the theft occurred.
Police later identified and arrested one suspect, though the second individual involved has not yet been located. Investigators say efforts are ongoing to find the missing Yorkie, who is still believed to be in the area.
Investigation Still Active
Authorities have not released the names of the suspects or specific details about how one of them was captured. Police are asking for public assistance to help locate both the remaining suspect and the missing dog.
Residents in Palm Springs and surrounding neighborhoods are encouraged to report any sightings of a small Yorkshire Terrier matching the description of the missing pet.
Community Response
The case has sparked widespread concern on social media, with locals sharing posts and photos of the Yorkie in hopes of helping bring the dog home. Animal rescue groups have also stepped in to spread the word and assist police efforts.
The Palm Springs Police Department continues to urge the public to stay alert and call their non-emergency line with any tips regarding the dog’s whereabouts or the second suspect.
