This is the shocking moment a teenage girl appears to grab a kitten from inside a pet shop and pull it into her handbag before walking out.

The young woman was captured on CCTV footage placing her hand inside the kitten’s cage, in Sunderlands Pets, Ashton Old Road, in Openshaw .

She then manages to grab hold of the 10-week-old female tabby, but appears to drop it onto the floor.

The girl seems to then put it into her handbag.

Another woman can be seen laughing in the background.

The cage was apparently locked with a padlock, but it is thought she managed to get inside via an unsecured part of the cage.

The incident took place on Friday, June 12, at around 3.45pm and has been reported to police.

Pet shop owner Claire Turner said she “can’t stop crying” and is desperate to get the kitten back.

She told the M.E.N: “It is very upsetting, it is awful I can’t stop thinking where it has gone and who it is with.

“I am a massive cat lover.

“We don’t make money out of it. I love what I do. We don’t sell them cheap, we want them to go to people who are thinking about it.”

Claire added: “It is just so sad. This has happened before, we have had a couple of tortoises stolen in the past.

“It is not about the money, but it is who has the kitten gone to, who is going to be looked after?

“We make sure when we sell them they are going to good homes.”
