Police in Hammond, Ind., are trying to identify two teenagers who broke into a pet store and stole 10 puppies.

It happened at Hug-a-Pup at 169th Street and Calumet Avenue late Sunday night.

Police said the two broke a window, grabbed the puppies, and put them all in a large duffel bag.

The puppies are four orange Pomeranians, three white Poodles, and three white and orange "Teddy Bear" puppies — or Shih Tzu and Maltese mixes.

Police posted pictures of the burglars on Facebook.

They’re wearing hoodies and masks, so you can’t see their faces, and authorities said they were last seen carrying the dogs away down an alley.

No word on whether Cruella de Vil was in the area.
