A NINE-week-old puppy which was inside a pick-up truck that was stolen last night has been returned to his owners after they offered a £200 reward for his safe return.

The black and white Sheepdog named Saul was found in Bradford and has now been collected by his family who are said to be delighted to have him back.

The truck which the puppy was in is still missing. 

The vehicle is described as being a silver/grey pickup truck with the registration ML54 CUK and is thought to have accident damage at the front.

The truck was stolen at around 8pm from the Salterforth area.
