A Pomeranian dog is stolen from a Salina backyard.

Police are investigating after a male dog was taken from a fenced in yard in the 3100 block of Foxboro on Tuesday afternoon between 4:30pm and 5pm.

Police say two dogs were in the yard when the owner left – and returned 30-minutes later to find the gate knocked down, the dog’s collar on the ground along with two of his sweaters.

The owner says the dog has a microchip and is valued at $1,500.
