Six teacup poodle puppies stolen from NYC apartment by masked dognappers

A pair of masked dognappers are being sought for stealing six teacup poodle puppies from a Bronx apartment, police said this week.

The thieves somehow got their hands on the keys to a unit in a building on Vyse Avenue and East 174th Street – blocks from Crotona Park – and slipped inside around 9:30 a.m. Nov. 10, authorities said.

They then swooped up the tiny puppies and stuffed them in a duffle bag before taking off, cops said.
