Puppy Found Safe After Bentley Theft in Fort Lauderdale

The case underscores how fast an unlocked, running car can be taken.

Overview

  • Fort Lauderdale police say a 2024 Bentley Continental was stolen from a driveway with a 6-month-old poodle mix named Coco inside.
  • Home security video showed a man get into the unlocked car with the key fob inside and drive away.
  • The thief later left the puppy nearby, and a passerby took Coco to a Hollywood animal hospital where vets said she was in good health.
  • Coco has been returned to her owner, while the suspect and the Bentley remain missing.
  • Police ask for tips to Fort Lauderdale Police or Broward County Crime Stoppers, which allows anonymity and offers up to $5,000 for information.
