“Break-in avoided because of dog”

By Prince Of Petworth

Published December 29, 2020 at 11:15AM

Matt writes: “Just a heads up from the Shaw area. Just found video of this from boxing day while we’re asleep. We notified the police but nothing they could do. Thankfully neighbors dog scared them away. Other neighbors have had things stolen from yards like bikes in the past months so this seems to be becoming a more common thing. Will be letting our dog play in the yard more often now.”
