Alleged looter flees KwaNgcolosi home, abandons puppies

The puppies are believed to have been abandoned three days prior to the police arriving at the home.

MEMBERS of the Durban Flying Squad and Durban Search and Rescue Unit saved two abandoned puppies in the KwaNgcolosi area today. 

“During ongoing operations to recover looted items, two abandoned puppies were found at a property. The malnourished puppies were left alone for three days,” said the KZN SAPS spokesman, Colonel Thembeka Mbele.

It is alleged the property owner fled when he was alerted to his pending arrest for public violence and the theft of a motor vehicle. 

The puppies were taken to the Village Veterinary Clinic in Kloof where they were given rabies vaccinations and de-worming medication. They were then placed with a foster family.
