AN GARDA Síochána have launched an appeal to find the owner of three puppies believed to have been stolen.
The Daschund puppies were discovered in the boot of a car in the early hours of this morning, Tuesday 15 December, when the vehicle was pulled over by Gardaí.
According to a statement from the officers involved, the vehicle was seen 'acting suspiciously' and a search of the car revealed the three young pups hidden in the boot.
