Stolen Vic puppies, worth $12,000, found

Four Cavoodle puppies worth a total of $12,000 have been found after being stolen from a Melbourne pet shop on the weekend.

The Cavalier King Charles Spaniel poodle cross dogs, which sell for around $3000 each, were taken from the Camberwell store before midnight on Saturday.

The owner was alerted when an alarm was triggered but when she went to the shop the dogs were gone.

The puppies were found in nearby Glen Iris on Monday night and a 40-year-old man is now assisting police with their inquiries.
