Following an urgent public appeal issued hours after the five-week-old puppies were taken, officers from GMP’s City of Manchester Division attended a property in Moston and recovered all six dogs, it was initially thought that seven of the pups had been taken but one had been left behind.
A 40-year-old man was also arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary and remains in custody for questioning.
The staff cross puppies, who are all safe and well, have now been reunited with their mother, Zena, who is over the moon at their return.
The investigation into the incident – which took place at a flat on Fernclough Road at around 9:30am yesterday – remains ongoing and detectives are keen to speak to anyone with information that can assist.
Detective Constable Nick Kershaw of GMP’s City of Manchester Division, said:
