COLLEGE PARK, GA — A major bust found more than drugs and guns Thursday, but a stolen award-winning show dog at a Clayton home, according to Clayton County police, reports WSB-TV.

Police have been investigating criminal activity in the city of South Fulton for the past few months. On Thursday they served search warrants at a home and apartment in College Park.

During one of those searches, the American bully was found and given to a family friend at the South Fulton Police Department.

Crayola was stolen at a Conyers gas station last month when the Florida family left a door unlocked. According to the news outlet, their French bulldog was also taken, but the family purchased it back a few days later through Cash App.

“The investigation has been going on for several months. We received tips from the community in reference to the gang and narcotics activity in the South Fulton area,” Sgt. Jubal Rogers, who’s with the city of South Fulton Police Department, told WSB.

During the investigation police discovered more than 20 guns, drugs, cash, a stolen car and Crayola. According to police, they have five or six suspects in custody, but the investigation is ongoing.

Crayola will remain with the family friend until they return back to Atlanta from Jacksonville to pick her up.
