Two people were threatened by men wearing face coverings before puppy Mitch was taken in Coventry

A 12-week-old puppy has been stolen from a house by armed men, "devastating" the dog's owners.

Four men in balaclavas and face coverings threatened two occupants at the property in Binley, Coventry, before taking pet Mitch at 22:45 BST on 23 October, West Midlands Police said.

The force is trying to trace the dog, which is tan in colour.

The owners are "devastated", say police, who are hoping the public can help find "beloved" Mitch.

Officers have urged anyone with information about the Bully breed dog - which has a white patch on the back of his neck - to come forward.
