Berkeley, California (Friday, July 24, 2020) - In the early morning hours of July 3rd, unknown suspects stole a vehicle from an off-street parking lot on the 1600 block of University Avenue. Inside the vehicle, was the victim’s wallet as well as their 5-month-old pet French Bulldog named “Mizuchi.”
Although the vehicle was found in the City of San Pablo the next day, Mizuchi was gone.
Since that time, detectives have been following the trail of fraudulent charges left by the suspect and we have obtained the following surveillance images of the suspect and the suspect’s vehicle. From this video, it appears that the suspect is also trying to keep “Mizuchi” as her own pet now.
If you have information about this suspect or “Mizuchi’s” whereabouts, please contact BPD Property Crimes Unit at (510) 981-5737.
