State Police Seek Leads After Three-Year-Old Cockapoo Stolen From Winfield Driveway

Two women are accused of removing the collar and taking a family’s three-year-old brown cockapoo from a Winfield driveway in Union Township on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, law enforcement sources say. Pennsylvania State Police at the Milton barracks are asking the public for help locating the dog and identifying the suspects.

Troopers were called to Sandel Road in Union Township on Feb. 15 after the family reported the dog missing, according to reporting from FOX56. That outlet lists the incident number as PA26-197846 and says authorities are working to identify the two women alleged to have taken the animal. Media accounts consistently describe the dog as a three-year-old cockapoo and refer to the animal as a family pet.

Reports differ slightly on the precise scene of the theft. The original local report and several reprints describe the dog as taken from a Winfield driveway in Union Township, while FOX56 specifies troopers were dispatched to Sandel Road. Those location details have not been explicitly reconciled in available reporting; State Police Milton can confirm whether the Sandel Road address and the Winfield driveway are the same property in the department’s incident records.

Multiple outlets state that one woman allegedly removed the dog’s collar before carrying the animal away. No names, ages, physical descriptions, vehicle information, or arrest reports have been released by investigators. State Police Milton have not provided additional suspect descriptions in public summaries cited by local media.

The incident remains under investigation and no charges have been reported. Media sources reprinting the State Police request do not include statements from the dog’s owners and no owner names or photographs have been published in the accounts reviewed. Local police procedures suggest investigators will seek surveillance footage and witness accounts, but those investigative details have not been disclosed in the available reports.

An Instagram fragment in one capture referenced a shooting in connection with a dog, but that detail is incomplete and uncorroborated by FOX56, WNEP, WOLF, or State Police Milton; it should not be considered part of this investigation without independent confirmation from police records or an official statement.

Anyone with information about the alleged theft or the dog’s whereabouts is urged to contact Pennsylvania State Police, Milton barracks, at 570-524-2662 and reference incident number PA26-197846. State Police Milton continue to investigate and have asked the public to provide tips that could lead to the dog’s recovery and identification of the suspects.
