VALLEJO, Calif. (KGO) -- The Vallejo Police Department is offering a $500 reward for information that leads to the safe return of an English bulldog named Tyson who was dognapped last Friday.

Police say Tyson was taken by two armed robbers, a man and a woman, during a hold-up around 11:45 p.m. at Marin and Kentucky Streets.

Officers say Tyson's owner handed over his wallet with $100, but then the suspects wanted to the dog too.

Anyone with information regarding this armed robbery or Tyson's whereabouts is asked to contact Officer Agoncillo at Richard.Agoncillo@cityofvallejo.net.
