A pitbull terrier has been happily reunited with her owner after being the victim of a mysterious dognapping in Sydney’s CBD.
Four-year-old Baxter was tied up by her owner outside a store at the intersection of George and Liverpool streets last Friday night.
When the owner returned, the dog was missing and police were called to investigate.
Police say a man and woman were last seen heading south on George Street with Baxter.
On Monday night a 38-year-old man surrendered Baxter at Day Street police station, where he was arrested and charged with stealing a dog.
He was refused bail and was due to appear in central local court on Tuesday.
