Stolen Yorkies returned to owners

Four pricey puppies and a beloved pet are back with their owners after they were dognapped at gunpoint in California.

A home surveillance system caught the two robbers as they took the dogs from a home in Los Angeles.

It all started when the dog breeders put an ad in the paper to sell the purebred Yorkies for $2,500 each.

The men showed up, posing as buyers.

They took the puppies and the family's pet Yorkie that they'd had for three years.

One suspect turned himself in, thanks to his father.

“My personal feeling is I think he realized he did something stupid and, to his credit, his father was able to convince him to turn himself in,” LAPD Det. Luis Corona.

A second suspect is still at large.

Police think the robbers were not going to sell the dogs, but rather give them away as gifts.
