A Maltese, stolen Friday during a burglary, was returned safely to its rightful owners later that day.
Shortly after noon Friday, Lee County sheriff's deputies responded to Pine Hammock Circle in south Fort Myers in reference to a burglary. The victims advised that their home had been forcibly entered while they were away. The suspect or suspects ransacked the home, stealing various items including a computer, a flat-screen television, money, jewelry and the couple’s pet dog, an 8-year-old Maltese named Sugar.
During the evening hours on Friday, deputies were called to the Publix at Summerlin Road and Colonial Boulevard. One of the clerks told deputies a regular customer had returned to the store after shopping and said he found a dog in his car. The customer had left his windows down in the Publix parking lot while he shopped. The clerk said she recognized the dog, which had been featured in media reports throughout the day. The dog was unharmed and has been reunited with its owners.
The investigation into the burglary continues.
