Just had this email through: a breeder in Newmarket has had all his spaniels stolen yesterday lunchtime - Friday 20th May. He was away from his place for only half an hour. The padlock on his yard door was smashed off and three trialling English Springers and a lactating cocker bitch (puppies still very young) taken.
More details later.
I believe white van man was involved again (I've had numerous reports of white vans and false number plates involved in a number of these sorts of dog thefts)!
