Police in Camborne are asking if anyone in the area has had a dog 'stolen' after a rumour that pet pooches were being taken.

Officers say that, while they have heard from members of the public and on social media that there have been incidents of dog theft in the Camborne area, "this appears to be nothing more than rumours at this time".

Adding that police at Camborne have not received any reports of dog theft.

However anyone concerned can get in touch with the force for advice.
