Multiple suspects are on the run in Colorado following a bizarre heist in which a male allegedly faked a seizure to distract workers at a pet store while his accomplice swiped two bulldog puppies worth $4,299 each from a display case, police say.
The theft was captured on video at Perfect Pets in Centennial on Sunday afternoon. One of the two dogs was later returned to the store by a Good Samaritan after she “purchased the puppy for $1,500 from a street vendor in north Denver,” the Arapahoe County Sheriff’s Office announced early Tuesday.
“The suspect who allegedly faked the seizure was arrested at the pet store by sheriff deputies. His name is Timothy Davis, 37. He’s facing charges of conspiracy to commit a felony, theft, and drug possession,” the sheriff’s office said. “Deputies are still searching for the other three suspects.”
Footage of the heist begins with a man falling over backwards while looking at a display case of animals. A woman who appears to be a mother with her two young children and a store employee then walk over to tend to him.
“It’s sad that you know, this puppy doesn’t get to go live this amazing life with a deserving family and home instead because someone doesn’t have any morals,” she said.
