Dogs that were inside a van that was stolen from an alley in the city’s Lake View neighborhood were located safely on Thursday, the owner of the business said.
The van belongs to the company Dogaholics, a grooming and boarding service located in the 3600 block of North Southport Avenue.
According to police, a man parked the van in an alley behind the facility Thursday afternoon, with three dogs inside. The keys were left in the vehicle’s ignition, and the doors were locked, according to police.
A person then stole the van, and the employee at the business saw the van fleeing the scene.
