A dog has been reunited with its mom and owner after an armed Kijiji robbery earlier this month.
The puppy Oreo is now back at home, Toronto police said Thursday.
Police released two photos of Oreo and her mom, both of which can be seen below.
Police say a man posted a puppy for sale ad on Kijiji and agreed to meet the prospective buyer at a pre-arranged location where he was confronted by four men, one of whom was armed with a shotgun. The gun was pointed at the puppy owner and the puppy was stolen.
Christopher Rampersaud, 20, of Brampton was arrested on April 16 and charged with armed robbery, using an imitation firearm in commission of an offence, weapons dangerous and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000.
