A puppy has been reunited with his owner after it was stolen in the street at knifepoint.

The British bulldog named Spot was found wandering in the street after he was snatched in Orpington, south-east London, on Tuesday morning.

The week-old puppy was taken during an alleged armed robbery in Lullingstone Crescent at around 8.50am, Scotland Yard said.

Spot and his owner - a man in his early 30s - were approaching the junction with Grovelands Road when two men jumped out of a white Mercedes CLA Sport, the Metropolitan Police said in an earlier appeal.
