Police searching for two people accused of stealing dog in Gwinnett County after posing as its owner

DULUTH, Ga. — Police are searching for two suspects they said stole a dog from a Gwinnett County apartment complex nearly a month ago.

On Sept. 9, Gwinnett County officers were called to the Sugarloaf Summit Apartments on Duluth Highway regarding a stolen dog.

Police met with the dog’s owner, who told them their 5-year-old Shih-Poo was stolen.

The owner told officers that the dog got loose earlier that day from the ground-floor patio door of their apartment.

The dog wandered the apartment complex until a witness at the pool found it.

The witness also met with authorities and said that she found the dog and put out a Ring app notification for the lost dog. The witness said that a short time later, two women walked up to the pool and identified the dog as “Coco.”

The two suspects took the dog from the witness and left in a blue SUV. From the apartment complex surveillance footage, the SUV appears to be a Cadillac with no tag.
