THIEVES have left an eight-year-old girl heartbroken after running off with her two pet rabbits.
The girl, whose parents asked not to be named, desperately wants the two dwarf lop-eared rabbits returned.
The pets were stolen from Middlehope Grove, Bishop Auckland, overnight on Tuesday.
PC Don Luke, from Bishop Auckland police, said: "The little girl is very, very upset and obviously wants the rabbits back."
One is described as blue/grey in colour with a blond patch on its back. The other is black and white.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact PC Luke on (01388) 603566.
