Dog owners beware. In a Lost and Found Pets Group on Facebook, a local woman has warned dog owners that there is a utility van going around trying to steal dogs. Allegedly, her boyfriend’s parents had their dog in the front yard as they were doing yard work in the back.
They heard the dog growling and when they went to check on the pet, there were people trying to get the dog, a Newfoundland dog, into a van. The pet owners yelled out and the drivers of the utility van drove off.
The pet owners were unable to see a license plate, but describe the vehicle as a white van with the back windows blacked out. This incident occurred on Korah Road by Rossmore Street.

Sure is! I will sure keep an eye out!
This is so disturbing ☹️
No offence but why is this just a retelling of a rumour on Facebook? Have you spoke with the family that apparently witnessed it? Make? Model? Colour? I am just saying the story is a sloppy retelling of a rumour, where is the investigation?
Hi Sasha!
We don’t currently have more information at this time, we are speaking with individuals in the next couple days who have more information to complete a more detailed report of what is going on here. We wanted to get the warning out in it’s incomplete form so at least people could be weary while their pets are outside in the mean time. Stay tuned as the story develops.
*wary
It’s not a rumour! I am happy that saultonline has put this out there to make people aware! Don’t you think it is a good idea???????
Just one of the many many reasons my dog is never ever outside alone.
Ppl are stealing pets to sell for drug money and even more sinister and sick, I’ve also heard for use as ‘bait dogs’ in dog fighting…
