The SAPD is searching for two gorditos who stole a pit bull puppy

On 09/10/2023 a victim posted a Pit Bull 3-month old puppy for sale on Craigslist and received a text message from a potential buyer. The victim agreed to meet the buyer in the area of 1400 S. Townsend Avenue for the transaction.

Once in possession of the puppy, the suspects fled on foot without paying the victim. The suspects continued running with the victim following.
