TWO stolen dogs were found in Hindley this week.

Two Basset Hounds were stolen from an address in Leicestershire in February and, on Tuesday night, police said that through the power of social media the animals were found at an address in Hindley.

They were safely removed by officers.

The owners have been made aware and the dogs are to be reunited with their family soon.

Meanwhile, two adults have been arrested in connection with the theft and an investigation is on going.
