Dog Stolen As Owner Walks Him In Farmington Hills

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI — A family is trying to find their dog after a car full of men reportedly stole him while his owner was walking him.

A man was reportedly walking his two dogs around 6:45 p.m. Wednesday near Northwestern Highway and 14 Mile Road in Farmington Hills when a car full of young men pulled up and stole the dog. According to police, two or three men exited the vehicle, took both dogs and fled.

The owner tried to hold onto the car and was dragged for a short time, police said. He was able to get one of the dogs back, according to the report, but the second dog — a 5-pound brown male Maltese/Yorkie mix named “Hennessy” — was stolen.

The suspects are described as black males in their teens or early 20s. The car was driven by a black female around the same age, police said. The vehicle was described as a silver compact car, possibly a Chevy Aveo or Spark.

Detectives are actively investigating this report and officers will be conducting increased patrols in the area, the Farmington Hills Police said.
