A puppy that was stolen during an armed robbery last week has been found. Police said the robber approached the dog’s owner at about 10:30 p.m. Wednesday in the 4500 block of Polk Street, brandished a gun and demanded the victim’s dog, and then took off running after the owner complied.
The 5-month-old pit bull mix named Genesis was returned Monday morning, but the suspect has not yet been identified. D.C. police tweeted a photo of the reunion.
