Four stolen puppies have been returned thanks to a region-wide appeal to find them.

Earlier this week we appealed for information after four cocker spaniel puppies were stolen during a burglary at a Dudley home.

Two women, who had bought the puppies in good faith, turned up at Brierley Hill police station yesterday with the puppies after seeing the appeal online.

They handed the pups over to police so they could be returned to their rightful owner, who is delighted by their safe return.
