The crime in question is online identity theft. And the victim is a prize-winning poodle.
Details of the two-year-old pedigree pet, named Afonwen Welch Fusilier, were posted on the internet by proud owner Lynne Day, 63, from Tremeirchion in North Wales.
But a conman stole the details from the site and is passing the dog off as his own. He claims that Afonwen Welch Fusilier - pet name Blue - has given birth to puppies, despite being male.
The mystery man, who calls himself Henry Daf and whose registered address turns out to be a Glasgow graveyard, is touting the phantom puppies to potential buyers.
Pups in the Afonwen pedigree can fetch up to £1,000 each.
