This is the chilling moment a masked intruder crept into a family home at night and snatched their two beloved dogs.

CCTV footage shows the burglar calmly leading nine-month-old Shepadoodle Bruno and his mother Molly from a house in Featherstone, West Yorkshire, on the eve of Valentine's Day while their owner Ewa Hunt, 55, enjoyed a cabaret show with friends following a recent break-up.

Molly was found 22 miles away in Goole, East Yorkshire six days later on February 19, following a tip-off from a member of the public - but Bruno has not been seen since.

Footage, shared with MailOnline in a bid to bring the culprit to justice, shows the masked man slipping through a back door of Ms Hunt's property just after 8.45pm.

He is seen leaving less than two minutes later with both dogs trotting obediently at his side.
