BURNABY, B.C. — Police in Burnaby, B.C., are searching for a dog-napper after a toy poodle was taken from a parking lot.

The Mounties say four-year-old Coco was snatched from a shopping cart while the dog's owner was putting groceries in her vehicle.
Police say they have surveillance footage of the incident, which shows that a man in a four-door Honda Civic grabbed a dog carrier with the small, white dog inside, then sped off.
A female passenger was also in the car.
