Riverside County sheriff\u2019s deputies are looking for a man who used a violent car accident as an opportunity to steal a family\u2019s dog. <\/p>\n
As paramedics removed a 24-year-old woman and her 2-year-old son from the car, which had smashed into a median and landed upside down in the Highgrove area, their frightened Yorkshire terrier, Rizzo, ran out through a broken window, said Sgt. Dave Lelevier. <\/p>\n
Two onlookers and several children chased the 3-year-old dog and were returning with him to the crash scene when a man grabbed Rizzo. <\/p>\n
He \u201ctold them in Spanish that he would return the dog to the owner,\u201d Lelevier said.
\nBut he ran away with the dog.\n<\/p>\n
Lelevier said the mother and child were treated and released from a hospital with minor injuries, but were upset to find out that their family pet had been stolen. <\/p>\n
The suspect is described as Latino, about 5 feet 11 and weighing about 180 pounds. He was wearing a tan, short-sleeve shirt that read \u201cWhite Cap\u201d on the back. <\/p>\n
Anyone with information regarding the case is asked to call the Jurupa Valley sheriff’s station at (951) 955-2600. <\/p>\n
