Northwest Division patrol members responded to a residence near 116 Avenue and 95 Street, at approximately 2:30 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 20, 2018, after receiving a call regarding a residential B&E.
Video surveillance images (see below) show a female suspect walking away from the northwest Edmonton home with the family dog, “Milo” in her arms.
Investigators believe the suspect targeted the residence to steal the family’s dog, as no other belongings were taken from the home. The couple were not home at the time of the B&E, and had left “Milo” in a kennel.
The couple, who are understandably upset by the loss of their new dog, not to mention the invasion of privacy, had just purchased the puppy and brought it home last month. They were looking forward to their first Christmas together with their new puppy.
The suspect is described as being a female, approximately 20 to 30 years of age, wearing black pants, a grey hoodie and beige jacket, at the time of the break and enter.
Anyone with information about the suspect’s identity or the whereabouts of “Milo” is asked to contact the EPS at 780-423-4567or #377 from a mobile phone. Anonymous information can also be submitted to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or online at www.tipsubmit.com/start.htm.
