BRONX - That’s Ruff! The NYPD is searching for a group of poodle thieves who removed six pups from a Bronx apartment building.



The NYPD released surveillance video of at least two suspects inside the building in Charlotte Gardens near Crotona Park. Investigators said the thieves came with keys for the apartment by unknown means.


At around 9:30 am on November 10, the suspects entered an apartment building in the vicinity of Vyse Avenue and East 174th Street. The crooks used the keys to gain access to the apartment.
