Dognapped

Brazen thief grabs pooch from driveway

- ED CHATTERTON, LUCY THORNTON

SHOCKING doorbell footage shows the moment a family's trusting cockapoo is dognapped.

A hooded man in dark clothing walks up a driveway before seeming to lead three-year-old Alan away.

Alan's owner Stuart Godfrey, 45, is "gutted" and police are now investigating the theft.

Stuart's cousin Holly Bryan, 27, was at the house at the time and has launched a social media appeal to track the pooch down.

Alan had been tied to a post on an extendable lead because of work being done on Stuart's garden.
