VANCOUVER – Quick action by North Vancouver police along with a social media alert about a missing dog named Amber allowed for a speedy recovery of the golden retriever.
Mounties say a frantic dog owner called Monday to report that six-year-old Amber had been taken from the front of a store when the owner briefly went inside.
Officers canvassed the neighbourhood for surveillance footage and saw a man on video walking a dog that matched Amber’s description.
Within minutes of releasing the images on social media, police say they were flooded with calls that the suspect and the dog were on a Seabus heading toward Vancouver.
Transit police officers met the pair at the city’s Waterfront Station just about three hours after Amber had been snatched.
Police say a man in his 40s is facing possible charges of theft under $5,000.
