Lancashire Police are helping their colleagues in the East Yorkshire where three Spring Spaniels were stolen from kennels on a farm on February 12.

Two of the Spaniels have since been found, but one - known as Keedy - remains missing and is believed to be in Preston where one of the other dogs has been recovered.

Jazz, nine, was located in Preston last week and the oldest spaniel, Robbie, 14, is understood to have been found in Wigan.

Police believe the third Spaniel - two-year-old Keedy - is also thought to be in the Preston area after being stolen from outside the home of his owner Keith Fetches - 130 miles away near the Yorkshire coast.

Humberside Police, who are leading the investigation, has not said why it has traced the dog's suspected whereabouts to Lancashire.

Officers say Keedy - who answers to his name - is liver and white in colour with one black paw.

His elderly owner, who lives on a farm in Thornholme between Burton Agnes and Bridlington, is said to be "very distressed and worried" about his dog's welfare.

Keedy is chipped and police believe he is somewhere in the Preston area, where officers have been conducting enquiries over the weekend.

So far, police have found no sign of him, but say he could also could be around Wigan or Manchester.

Police are appealing for anyone with information that could help recover Keedy and reunite him with his owner to get in touch.
