Police in Ossipee, New Hampshire, are searching for a suspect who broke into the Lakes Region Humane Society and stole three animals in the early hours of Monday morning. Megan Williams, the shelter’s executive director, was alerted to the break-in around 2 a.m. when the alarm system was triggered.
Reviewing surveillance footage, she spotted a person dressed in a light-colored hoodie, carrying a black backpack, and wearing a surgical mask. The individual had gained access to the shelter’s lobby and was seen exiting shortly afterward.
When police responded to the initial call, they found a shattered window and a rock inside the building. After a thorough search of the scene, the suspect appeared to have fled. However, in a bold return, the individual came back after officers had left, re-entered the building, and departed the same way.
This second intrusion revealed a troubling discovery: two kittens and one adult cat were missing from the shelter. Williams, disheartened and frustrated, expressed disbelief at the lengths the person had gone to.
“It’s shocking,” she said. “There are so many ways to get free animals. If you went online or found someone with kittens they don’t want, it would’ve been easy. But instead, this person spent two hours crawling through broken windows to steal pets from a nonprofit animal shelter.”
The missing animals include two black kittens and a tabby adult cat. Authorities are still searching for the suspect and urge the public to report any sightings of the stolen animals, whether online or in person.
The shelter is hopeful for the safe return of the animals and emphasizes the importance of reporting any suspicious activity to the Ossipee Police Department.
