Police say the dogs were taken from a property in Valnord, St Peter Port, sometime between 09:00 and 10:00 on Monday 29 March.

In a plea for information this morning, officers say they are still sourcing photographs of the pugs, to help identify them to anyone who may have seen them since. 

“One of the dogs is described as being black in colour whilst the other three are a fawn brown colour,” said one of the investigating officers. 

“One of the dogs has a distinctive feature as it is missing half an ear as a birth defect.”
