A nine-week-old puppy has been stolen from a home during a knife-point robbery.
The blue and grey American Bully XL was taken after two men forced their way into a house in Lower Road, Minster, on the Isle of Sheppey yesterday.
A person at the address was threatened by the pair with a knife after they got into the home, which is on a rural bit of land which connects Sheppey Way to A2500, at around 3pm.
Nobody was seriously injured but a mobile phone and jewellery were stolen along with the female pup Moët which has a white mark on its face.
Both suspects are white, with the first man described as being around six foot and slim build while wearing a red body warmer, blue t-shirt and jeans, high-topped trainers and blue gloves.
The second suspect was shorter and stockier and was wearing a grey tracksuit.
The pair are thought to have left the scene in a grey Mercedes C180 coupe and officers who are hunting them down want to speak to anyone in the area who has dascham footage of a similar car in the Lower Road area between 2.30pm to 3.30pm.
A police spokesman added: "Officers would also like to hear from anyone who believes they have information, or privately held CCTV which can be of assistance.
"Anyone who has been offered a dog, which matches the description provided, for sale in suspicious circumstances is also asked to get in contact."
Anyone with information can call Kent Police on 01795 419119 quoting 46/207067/20.
