According to the Kent County Sheriff Department, Linda and Timothy Driscoll were caring for seven 6-week old pit bull puppies belonging to their son, Shane Griffin, when they were stolen last week.

The following day, at 2 a.m., the two came back with two more people from Grand Rapids, and cut through the chain link fence to steal the puppies. The puppies were then taken to one of the suspects’ homes in Grand Rapids.
