A PET dog – and its bed – was stolen when raider’s targeted a village home in North Yorkshire.

The incident happened overnight on Manor Grove, Great Broughton, May 19 and 20 and involved an attempt to enter a property.

However, a dog was in an outhouse connected to the property and the eight-year-old labrador cross called Alfie was taken along with his bed.

Police are investigating and are asking for the public’s help in piecing together exactly what happened.
