BRONX - Cops said they have arrested a Bronx puppy bandit who stole the baby canine at gunpoint last year. 




The NYPD announced the arrest of 23-year-old Juan Ramirez of Saint Anns Avenue. He was charged with robbery. 



Cops said last May a Bronx man was trying to sell his pitbull mix puppy on social media when he was contacted by the thief. 


Cops said the victim had spoken to an individual on social media who told the dog owner that he was interested in purchasing the pup. The two agreed to meet to hand over the dog and the cash. 



At around 9:30 pm on May 9, the 23-year-old man went to a building in the vicinity of Seneca Avenue and Faile Street in Hunts Point. When he arrived he was not just greeted by the buyer but two other men as well. All three men pulled out guns. 


One of the trio ripped the dog from the owner’s arms. The gunmen then piled into a gray four-door sedan and drove off in an unknown direction.
