Dognapping to be made criminal offence with prison sentence after surge in pet thefts

A new criminal offence of pet abduction is to be introduced following a surge in thefts during the pandemic, as the government looks to crackdown on offenders.

The new offence will recognise animals as companions and as sentient beings, rather than solely as property, as the law currently does.

Thunderstorms over Kef still looking quite certain on Sunday, a little rain likely Monday and then a few days of sun & cloud before normal service resumes. Could all change...
