American football icon Tom Brady has been reunited with his cherished French Bulldog following a terrifying robbery that saw the pet snatched from his Los Angeles property.
The dramatic incident unfolded earlier this week when thieves targeted the seven-time Super Bowl champion's home, making off with his prized canine companion. Los Angeles Police Department swiftly launched an investigation into the brazen theft.
Swift police action leads to recovery
According to official reports, authorities moved quickly to track down the perpetrators, resulting in the arrest of two individuals connected to the crime. The dog was recovered unharmed and returned to the relieved quarterback.
"We can confirm the dog has been safely returned to its owner," an LAPD spokesperson stated. "Two suspects are currently in custody facing appropriate charges."
Celebrity pet thefts on the rise
This incident highlights the growing concern of celebrity pet thefts in California, where high-value breeds are increasingly targeted by criminals. French Bulldogs in particular have become popular targets due to their significant monetary value and celebrity associations.
Brady, who recently retired from professional football after an unprecedented 23-season career, has maintained his California residence despite his retirement from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The NFL legend has yet to make a public statement about the incident, but sources close to the athlete confirm both he and his family are "extremely relieved" to have their pet home safe.
