A dog that was stolen from outside a Williamsburg grocery store this week has been found and reunited with his owner, police said Wednesday.
The 21-year-old pet owner had left the dog, named Theo, on a leash outside the store on Humboldt Street and Flushing Avenue, cops said, but when she came out, all that was there was the leash.
Video surveillance caught a man dragging the terrier mix by the collar at about 9 p.m. Monday. Police were also looking to speak with a second man who was seen walking with the suspect.
Police released video of the incident Tuesday night.
