Police Seek Public Help Identifying Suspects in Palm Springs Dog Theft
PALM SPRINGS, CA — The Palm Springs Police Department is requesting public assistance in identifying two individuals involved in the suspected theft of two dogs on Friday, October 17, 2025.
At approximately 10:30 a.m., the two small Yorkshire Terriers, identified as Maggie and Winnie, wandered from their residence in the 700 block of San Lorenzo Road after a door was reportedly left open. A male subject was observed picking up the animals.
The man is described as Hispanic, in his 30s–40s, wearing a black cap, a white shirt with the phrase “I NEED COFFEE,” black shorts, and white shoes, and carrying a purple backpack. He has tattoos on his right leg, possibly an eagle design, and a right arm sleeve.
He was reportedly accompanied by a woman described as white, in her 30s with brown hair. She was wearing a leopard-print dress, brown boots, and carrying a black purse. The two subjects were observed departing the area quickly after the dogs were retrieved.
The dogs are both microchipped, and each is valued at approximately $2,500. Authorities are seeking information to identify the individuals involved in the incident and any reports of sightings of Maggie or Winnie.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Officer Guzman via email at animal.control@palmspringsca.gov or by phone at 760-323-8151. Tipsters are requested to reference Case# 2510P-4762.
