A DISTRAUGHT couple are offering a £1,000 reward for anyone who tracks down two dogs that were stolen from their Hampshire home.

Jay Macleod and his wife Bridget, of Sylvia Close, Totton, fear that their lurchers Div and Lady were taken for hunting.

The couple woke up on the morning of October 22 to find that the two animals had been stolen overnight.

Mr Macleod said: “We were gutted when we discovered that they had been stolen.”

The family have used Facebook to try to find the animals but to no avail, and they have now offered a reward.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Mr Macleod on 07757 778324 or Totton Safer Neighbourhood Team on 101.
