A PEDIGREE dog worth between £500 and £900 has been stolen from a Worcester garden.

Tess, a brindle and white French Mastiff, went missing from a secure garden in Downlands Garden, Dines Green between 7pm and 10pm on Thursday, April 26.

Owner Kymberly Mills said she was convinced the nine-month-old dog had been stolen because there was no way she could have escaped from the garden on her own.

Police want to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious in Downlands Gardens at the time or who has seen a dog matching her description suddenly appear elsewhere.

Anyone with any information should call officers on 08457 444 888 or contact Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
