Public’s Assistance Requested in Theft of Dog

Update:

The Doberman mix dog that was stolen in Lindsay early today has been returned to its owner thanks to a resident in Exeter who found it near a market on South Kaweah Street in Exeter. The resident took “Boy” home and started posting on social media in an attempt to find its owner when she saw our social media posts and called the Sheriffs Office. TCSO is still seeking information about the suspect who stole the dog.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Deputy Ryan Melo or Sergeant Brad McLean at the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office at #1-800-808-0488 or anonymously at tcso@tipnow.com or by text or voicemail at 559-725-4194.

Original Post: 

At about 7 a.m., on 7/23/23 deputies responded to the 20400 block of Avenue 232 in the Lindsay area regarding the theft of a pet dog.

Deputies arrived on scene and were advised that “Boy,” a Doberman mix was taken by an unknown male. At approximately 3 a.m., the male left on foot with the dog westbound on Avenue 232 from Road 204. The dog is valued at $200.

TCSO is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying the person shown in the photos as he is the suspect in this investigation.
