A dog which was stolen from Bluewater more than a month ago has been reunited with its owners.

Björn, a rare toy breed, went missing on Saturday, November 6, after his owners' van was broken into at the shopping centre in Greenhithe.

The vehicle was in the car park outside John Lewis when the window was smashed and Björn was taken from inside.

His owners, Michael Fox and his girlfriend Johanna Kerwien, have made several appeals for his return and offered a 'no questions asked' reward if the dog was handed into a safe place.

Their plight has attracted a huge amount of support, with more than 2,000 people joining a Facebook group to help with the search.

Tonight, the admins of the group shared the news that Björn had been found and reunited with Michael and Johanna.

Claire Smith posted: "Stand down #TeamBjorn.

Björn has been reunited with his owners. Update to follow."

The site has been inundated with comments. One follower said: "Omg tears of happiness....just wonderful news. Welcome home beautiful Bjorn."

Another added: "What a brilliant result so happy for you both. I’m sure you will have a lovely Xmas as a complete family keep him close and safe."

No further details about how or where he was found have yet been revealed.
