Car with Hearing Dog Inside Stolen
Your Help Sought
Early this morning, at around 6:30 AM, Roz Ramos drove to the FoodMax store near her home in Richmond, CA to pick up some groceries. Mia, her 6-year-old Chihuahua hearing dog remained in the car. When Roz returned, she was horrified to find her car and Mia missing.
Please be on the lookout for a 2006 G35 silver Infiniti that may contain Mia. Roz is currently seeking the car’s licence plate number (we’ll post it here when available) and does not have a current picture of her car but this is what it looks like. While the car is replaceable, Mia is not. Please contact Richmond Police Department at (510) 233-1214 voice with any leads.
Update: Mia has been found and reunited with Roz! Yay! More details soon.
