HAYWARD (CBS SF) — Three golden retriever puppies were recovered safely from an overturned pickup truck after being stolen in Hayward, police said Monday.

In a post on the Hayward Police Department’s Facebook page, police said the victim had the puppies listed for sale online and agreed to meet with a man in South Hayward who claimed he wanted to buy one. When the purported buyer met with the seller, the man pointed a gun at the victim and took the victim’s truck with the puppies still inside, police said.

Officers were alerted following a 911 call and found the truck headed northbound on Mission Blvd near Highland Blvd. The driver led officers on a chase which ended when the truck crashed and rolled over. The driver tried to flee on foot but he was quickly taken into custody by officers, police said.
