I've noticed a few signs have appeared around Hilperton warning of a white transit van with two Irish men that are stealing dogs.
My sister told me they are stealing dogs to use as practice for dog fights.
There are stories of dogs being stolen from the hands of people out walking them.
Take care when out walking your dogs.
