Sat 8th Mar, 2025

In a dramatic incident that has captured public attention, two Bolonka dogs were reportedly stolen from their owner's home in Schlieren, a suburb of Zurich, Switzerland. The theft, which occurred last week, has led to an unusual ransom demand of one million Swiss francs (approximately 1.05 million euros) for the dogs' safe return.

The owner, a 59-year-old man, discovered the theft and promptly contacted local authorities. In the course of their investigation, Swiss police were able to identify a suspect and apprehend a 30-year-old Norwegian man at Zurich Airport, who is believed to be connected to the case.

Further investigation revealed links to Poland, where authorities managed to arrest a 38-year-old suspect. Thanks to their efforts, the stolen Bolonkas were located and safely returned to their owner. Reports indicate that the dogs are in good health following their ordeal.

The Norwegian suspect is currently in custody in Switzerland, facing charges related to the theft. Meanwhile, Polish authorities continue their investigation into the actions of the other suspect involved in this peculiar case.

This incident raises important questions about pet security and the lengths to which criminals may go in their illicit endeavors. The emotional bond between pets and their owners is profound, and cases like this highlight the growing concern over pet thefts and the need for enhanced protective measures.
