Update: Police Pinpoint, Premonish Potential Puppy Provider to Perambulating Preteens

Police detectives have found the woman — from Brewster, NY — who drove up to at least three sets of children walking on Middlesex Road in Darien Tuesday, asking them if they wanted some puppies.

There didn’t seem to be any nefarious purpose to the unusual request, according to Darien police — for the children, at least (although the puppies may have been put in potentially dangerous situations).

She told police she didn’t think she was doing anything wrong, according to a Darien police news release, “but it was explained to her that approaching children under these circumstances was ill advised.”

Police didn’t think they needed to charge her with anything.

Here’s the Darien police news release (sent Wednesday in an email with the intriguing subject line “Puppy Update.”):

On Wednesday, Aug. 27, Darien detectives were able to locate the female who had approached the children asking them if they wanted puppies. The female is a dog breeder out of Brewster, NY with ties to the area.

The female didn’t believe that she was doing anything wrong, but it was explained to her that approaching children under these circumstances was ill advised. No charges were filed and the Darien Police consider the case closed.
