PLANTATION, Fla. -- Plantation police officers are once again hunting for puppy thieves.

In surveillance video taken at the Precious Puppies store in Plantation, a woman is seen holding a black and white puppy in one arm. She then opens her purse and puts the puppy inside.

Detectives think the woman, along with four accomplices, went into the store on two separate occasions and stole a shih tzu and a Maltese.

Cindy Darrell, who works at Precious Puppies, said, "It amazes me that people know we have cameras and they steal puppies anyways."

This isn't the first time a puppy has been stolen from the store. In July, a man was caught on camera stuffing a puppy down his pants. That thief has still not been caught.

Since July, the store doubled the number of security cameras.
