Stolen Stamford Dog Returned To Owner: Police

STAMFORD, CT — Harlem, a stolen Yorkshire Terrier, has been returned to owner Roshaun Henry, who last week announced in the Stamford Advocate that the dog had been taken from outside of the Stop & Shop on Stamford's West Side.

Henry reportedly had left the dog tied to a pole outside of the supermarket on Jan. 16, and when she came back from shopping the two-year-old dog was gone. She notified the police and posted signs around the neighborhood where the store is located.

In a post on the Stamford Police Department's Facebook page, officials said that a family member of the suspected thief "saw the news and questioned the family member about the new dog" the suspect had brought home.

Then realizing the dog had been stolen, that family member returned Harlem to the police.

The department did not disclose whether an arrest is pending, but officials said the investigation is continuing.
