The dogs were stolen from Linchmere, West Sussex, which is close to the Hampshire and Surrey borders. The theft was reported on BBC South Today this evening and described as possibly connected with the thefts in Hampshie at the end of December.

South Today also reported that 3 men were arrested today after being seen in a suspect vehicle in a rural area in Hampshire and it's thought the arrest may be linked to these thefts.

I have just seen this on facebook, really sorry if its not in the right place please move it wherever it needs to go

PLEASE BE AWARE Surrey/Sussex/Hants dog owners: The alert sent out by Milland News on Friday about three missing spaniels near Linchmere is now even more serious. The dogs were not just ‘missing’ as described by the police. They had been stolen from their kennel while the keeper was out feeding his pheasants. Last night the thieves returned and took another four dogs, and attempted to take two more. So a total of seven dogs have been stolen right on our doorstep. You will probably see more about this on BBC South Today and in the next Mid & Pet Observer as well as in Milland News but PLEASE ALL BE ON THE ALERT for these very determined thieves and tell the police immediately if you see anything suspicious. It is possible that the eldest of the three spaniels originally stolen might have been dumped as being too old to be of interest so please contact Elle Hubbard on 01428 741438 if you come across a lost black cocker spaniel (he is microchipped). THIS GANG IS SERIOUS and if any of you have dogs in outside kennels, make absolutely sure they are safe.
