Pit bull stolen from animal control in Albany

ALBANY, Ore. (AP) — Albany police are asking for the public’s help after someone stole a pit bull from the Linn County Sheriff’s Office animal control facility.

KATU-TV reports (http://bit.ly/2hjxqYO ) that police seized the dog in August.

Sheriff Bruce Riley says deputies responded to an alarm at the facility around 3:45 a.m. Saturday. It was the second alarm at the site this week.

Deputies discovered a lock that had been cut off a gate leading to the dog kennels and found that the dog was missing.

They’re gathering evidence and using surveillance video for leads.
