Children who had their precious cat stolen over a year ago still draw pictures of it as they struggle to come terms with his absence. Their mum Jodie Smith has revealed how much they miss Arlo, who was snatched off the streets of Solihull in January 2022.
He was one of a wave of catnappings in the area and back in August. Jodie admitted how angry she’d been that police dropped an investigation into the disappearance of so many felines, reports Birmingham Live.
That was despite what appeared to be video evidence showing an attempt to bundle one pet into a box. Charlene Jones, another victim, explained her cat Benson had also been pinched weeks before – her devastated family was forced to buy back the “traumatised” animal from an unsuspecting buyer in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
