One person has been arrested and two are being sought after a French Bulldog was stolen in west Windsor.

According to police, officers responded to a report of a robbery in the area of College Avenue and South Street just after 3 a.m. on Sunday Mar. 16.

Police say a teenager was walking her four-month-old puppy and was approached by two men and a girl, who threatened her with bear spray, grabbed the dog, and then fled the scene on foot.

An investigation was launched and officers arrested a 15-year-old girl in the 3400-block of Wells Street later that day.

Police say the girl can't be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, but has been charged with robbery and assault with a weapon. 

Investigators say one of the remaining suspects has been identified and a warrant has been requested for his arrest.

The other suspect is described as a white man with a moustache, possibly named "Ethan." 

Police say he was wearing a red hooded sweater and jeans at the time of the incident. 

The French Bulldog, named Rustin, was safely returned home Monday afternoon, Windsor police announced in a social media post

The suspects are still wanted. 

Anyone with information is asked to call police or Crime Stoppers.
