*UPDATE OF THE DOG THIEFS*
The drivers name is Lewis Longstaffe. His car registration is R646 EAW.
He is known to police as a poacher and dog thief. He put his car for sale on a website last night but I believe he has taken it off now.
Please share to everyone who owns a dog in and around the Wimborne area!
At 6pm this evening whilst walking back along the stour to Wimborne from Eyebridge, 2 men in there early 20’s driving a mid 90’s VW Passat drove straight across the training pitch next to Wimborne football club. They were blatantly trying to steal my dogs. Fortunately I had a feeling that was what they were after so put my spaniels on a lead. They are abusive and potentially aggressive. I tried taking a photo as they sped away across the field.
I’m a 40 year old firefighter and found the situation quite frightening that this could happen to anyone. East Dorset Rural Neighbourhood Policing Team
