SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Two people were arrested Wednesday in connection with the theft of a small dog in San Francisco, police said.

The owner tied up her mini labradoodle, Easton, outside near Lombard and Webster streets around 5:45 p.m. while she entered a daycare center, police said.

Officers took the dog and reunited it with its owner, police said. Police can be heard telling the suspects in the video that they were under arrest, although it's unclear what charges they could potentially face.
