Stolen dog and five puppies safely taken to secure kennel after being found in Tadley

Officers visited an address on Sandy Lane, Tadley, on Wednesday 11 August following information received from our partners at Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council.

We were told a puppy farm was at the location and a dachshund, named Bella, was found at the scene.

She was later identified as being stolen from Aylesford, Kent, in November last year.

The dog was found with five of her puppies inside a cage on the grass area at the front of the address.

All of the dogs were safely taken to a secure kennel and our colleagues at Kent Police have been updated.

Our enquiries are ongoing.
