Filmed: Teacup Yorkie stolen during walk with owner in Huntington Park

HUNTINGTON PARK, Calif. (KABC) — A family’s beloved teacup Yorkie was stolen this weekend in Huntington Park, and the theft was caught on camera.

It happened Saturday evening. The owner told Eyewitness News she was walking the dog when it came onto a lawn.

The Yorkie was not on a leash since he weighs less than 2 pounds, she said.

In surveillance video shared with ABC7, you see a white vehicle stop at a stop sign. Moments later, you see a woman get out of the passenger side and grab the little dog.

She then goes inside and the vehicle takes off.

According to the owner, the dog was a Christmas present for his grandson. She said the incident happened quickly.

“I immediately told my husband. As soon as he came out, they left,” she said. “So we couldn’t even see which way they were turning.”

The family has since posted about the dog on social media and notified police.
