On Thursday night last week, Nicola Freeman was out with her son.
At around 8pm, she received a notification on her phone – her Ring doorbell camera was picking up on some activity in front of the house.
CCTV shows man spotting dogs inside house
As soon as Nicola returned home, she watched the video. What she discovered sent shivers down her spine.
The person at the door had rang the doorbell, and when he noticed no one was home, he peered inside. When he saw the barking dogs, he excitedly said, “Pomeranian!” and proceeded to write this down in his notepad.
The man was wearing a uniform and a badge around his neck, as if he had dressed up to impersonate a charity worker or something of the sort, just in case someone showed up at the door.
Beware of dog nappers
Since seeing the video, Nicola has alerted the police, who assured her that this type of occurrence is unfortunately common and can indeed lead to a kidnapping.
Nicola is quite understandably afraid to walk her dogs on her own now.
Keep a close eye on your pets! These dog nappers are still rampant at the moment!
