The B-C Prosecution Service says a Vancouver jail guard has been charged with assault.
The service says Special Municipal Constable Omar Ahmed Flores faces one count of assault related to an incident at the Vancouver Police Department's jail last January.
Prosecutors say the charges were approved by Crown counsel with no connection to the special constable.
The service says Flores is due to make his first court appearance on January 24th.
Police say the theft occurred around 3 a.m. Monday morning. Since then, five of the eight-week-old puppies have been recovered, but police say the rest are still missing.
