Missing husky found safe

POLICE have recovered a Siberian husky who was stolen from outside a supermarket by two thieves.

Aldo was left outside Morrisons in Carmondean, Livingston, on Sunday afternoon for around five minutes but was untied and led away.

However, the three-year-old dog, who is worth around 1000, was found safe and well following a plea from owner Julia Svetska. The 33-year-old lab technician spent Sunday night and Monday morning searching the surrounding streets and parks for her beloved pet.

Police are still investigating the theft and are appealing for any witnesses who saw him being led away around 4.20pm to come forward.
