Police trying to ID person of interest in CT residential burglary where dog was taken

Police are seeking help from the public identifying a “person of interest” in connection with a burglary last month in Bridgeport where a small dog was taken.

The incident was reported on Sept. 21 in the 1500 block of Central Avenue where officers responded on the report of a residential burglary, according to the Bridgeport Police Department.

Police said a small black Shih Tzu/Pomeranian mix named “Zoe” was taken during the burglary. In a post made Thursday to the department’s Facebook page, police released a photo of the animal as well as a woman holding what appears to be the same dog. In the photo, the woman has a phone to her ear and is wearing a face covering.
