2 French bulldogs stolen days apart in DC, police say

In a continuing trend, two more French bulldogs were stolen this week in the District, according to D.C. police.

Mocha was stolen from her owner as she was attempting to sell the dog, authorities said. The victim told police that she had listed her dog for sale online and the suspect contacted her to purchase the dog before stealing her.

Police described Mocha as a 1-year-old beige Frenchie, with a microchip and cesarean section scar on her stomach.

Earlier this week, police said in the unit block of Galveston Place in Southwest. The suspect broke a window on Monday night and entered the victim’s home while Tyson’s owners were out, stealing property and the dog.

Tyson is described as a 2-year-old, brindle gray Frenchie by police, that also responds to the name “Cheese.”
