CARY WOMAN REUNITED WITH STOLEN PUPPY

CARY, NC – “LuLu,” the female Golden Retriever puppy stolen during a home burglary on East Cornwall Road in Cary on January 14, 2008, has been returned to her owner. The owner, Andrea Sexton, was reunited with LuLu on January 24, 2008 after receiving a phone call from a woman who said the dog she had been given as a gift looked like the one Sexton was missing.

According to the Cary Police Department, the caller known as “Betty” said her sister bought the puppy from a man at a gas station in Angier, N.C. for $50. Betty reportedly said she found Sexton’s phone number on a flier posted in a business. Sexton visited “Betty” and determined that the puppy was LuLu.

The other property taken from the house on January 14 - including jewelry, a Gateway laptop computer, and an Olympus digital camera - has not been recovered. Police are hoping this information will open new leads in the investigation.

Crime Stoppers will pay up to $2,500 for the arrest or indictment of those responsible for committing certain types of crimes. If you have information, contact Crime Stoppers at 226-CRIM(E) or contact Capt. Dave Wulff at (919) 469-4017; you may also visit www.carycrimestoppers.net.  All calls will be kept CONFIDENTIAL at caller's request.
