[News] Yorkies Stolen at Gunpoint

[bren]

It's a home invasion caught on tape and the brazen robbers are looking for one thing only -- dogs!

The victims breed Yorkshire terriers, and had placed an ad in a local Los Angeles paper, offering Yorkie puppies for sale for $2500 each.

The family was worried about a robbery occurring, and a week earlier they installed a video camera in their living room, and the entire incident was caught on tape.

The robbers came in at 10 p.m. pretending to be customers interested in buying the dogs. Suddenly a gun was drawn, and the family was ordered to lie on the floor as one of the robbers grabbed the puppies and cruelly stuffed them into a black bag.

Kelly Lee showed INSIDE EDITION how she crouched down as the robbers commanded, clutching her beloved pet, to her chest.

The robbers stole 4 purebred Yorkie, including Kelly's pet, Tan-ja, who tried to run away, but was caught.

Fortunately, no one was injured during the robbery. Now Kelly Lee and her family hopes the release of the surveillance video will help get their dogs back.

I saw this earlier and it just makes me sick. My question, though...why do they have a camera in their house?

To ward off any thefts of their puppies. It seems as though the ladies breeding has increased and her investment needed to be monitored 24/7. But In all honesty what breeder shows dogs at 10pm at night.. HELLO thats trouble just waiting to happen. And she highly advertised her pups in LA and for 2500. Who wouldnt want easy money.. Its sad to watch those innocent pups being kidnapped an probably being sold to worthless owners that is just out to gain something from someone elses pain and loss but the seller did ask for it..

first , only a coward would hold a gun to a human being... secondly, only a coward idiot would do it on camera..third, only a lowly, heartless, coward idiot would steal puppies. what lazy couple of low lifes these 2 are! I will be glad to see those two jailed for a much longer time for being dumb enough to use a gun. if they didn't have a gun they probably would be out in less than 6 months. Good going idiots!

oh my god. watching that makes me cry.
holy crap. god i hope those guys are caught.
the dogs knew that the guys were bad and were trying to run.
awwwww.................trying to hide behind their owner......
people are so heartless
god it makes my stomach sick.
good thing they have it on tape. the robbers better be caught.
wheres the justice.

I saw that same video tape several times on different news casts today. Someone must recognize these poor excuses for human beings! What is most upsetting is they collected those tiny little puppies in a plastic garbage bag...they didn't even have a box or pet carrier. Any potential buyer should have come prepared with a blanket, carrier, something.... And I agree with what was said my another here; what kind of person shows their puppies at 10:00 p.m.? Commentators where saying that anyone selling something that valuable should probably meet the potential buyer in a neutral and public place. Like what safe public place can you take a puppy? Any suggestions on that?

I read this in an earlier post and it said that she had been in contact with these "men", but she wouldn't give them her address, until they were in the area. They had a time set up for something like 7:30pm, but when that time came around nobody showed up. She had other things to do and when they arrived later that night, she told them it was too late, and that's when they pulled out the guns.

From the video though, that doesn't look like what happened. It looked like they just barged on it with their guns pulled.

Anyway, I'll try to find that thread and I'll post it here.

Armed Home-Invasion Robbery to steal Yorkies...

I could not believe it when I head about it. It makes me teary eyed watching it seeing them trying to run away.

I'm with everyone else that video is heart breaking. I think I would have been shot before they took my pets. I pray that the puppies and mom are ok.

[GucciMyGirl]

I saw the tape on the news last night and it brought tears as to how heartless these punks were. Stuffing them in a plastic bag. I hope they can retrieve the puppies and the mom.

You know I was thinking some of the same questions, Who shows a puppy so late at night, Well, guess what, I had someone come over at 9:30 last night. The woman got off of work late, they lived an hour away and then got lost, I thought they weren't coming and then I got a call from the front gate (live in a gated community) What should I have done? Sent them home? So I understand that, but I do not understand a camera in the house, unless they really expected to be robbed??!~?
