Warning: Theft of Microchip Scanner and Orange Hi Viz Vests - Beware of Suspicious Activity

On Friday 24th February 2023, one of our volunteers' vehicles was broken into by three males. Although several items were taken, we are particularly concerned about the theft of two orange HI VIZ vests with the "Missing Paw Team" MPT logo on the left side and the words 'team leader' on the back, as well as a black halo microchip scanner.

We advise the public to be cautious of anyone who approaches them to scan their dog or who knocks on their door requesting to see their dog, without prior contact with our organisation.

It is important to note that all our volunteers carry valid identification and if someone is acting suspiciously, do not hesitate to call 999 and challenge them for identification.

We want to highlight that none of our legitimate volunteers wear orange HI VIZ vests as they are specific to our special operations. The stolen items may be discarded or sold, but we want to warn the public of this incident and urge them to stay vigilant.
