Officers can now confirm that two of the tortoises – Blastoise and Jeffery – have been located in Lytchett Matravers.
The other two tortoises – Squirtle and Wartortle – are still unaccounted for. An investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made at this stage.
The animals are around 40 to 50cm long and 30cm wide. They are all micro-chipped.Last edited: 2018-08-26 11:37:37 by Gnasher - Area Co-ordinator, East Dorset - 2018-08-25 20:24 Poochpal - Regional Co-ordinator - South West - Police Liaison Team

- Keep making these tortoises " TOO HOT TO HANDLE" Posters, posters, posters. I would try, and get a radio, or/and TV appeal too. Post STOLEN TORTOISES in a National newspaper. And hand out as many poster as you can to the general public. Hope they are back where they belong very soon. Shells xd.
