MILWAUKEE — A story TMJ4 first reported on Sunday has a happy ending as a Milwaukee family was reunited with their stolen puppies Monday afternoon.
Owner Najat Abukamish said the two Rottweiler pitbull mix puppies were stolen from her yard near 14th and Washington Saturday morning.
“I took them out to go potty like always. I went inside for just a minute because my baby was crying, and when I came back outside, there was nothing,” said owner Najat Abukamish.
