San Jose Police arrested three suspected violent criminals last week following a long investigation alongside the Santa Clara County District Attorney's office.
They seized illegal weapons and drugs, but also made another surprising discovery.
The team found a missing French Bulldog and one of her four missing puppies, according to reporting by KGO.
Gucci was stolen along with her four puppies from her owner's home in San Jose in February.
Her owner, who asked not to be identified, is happy to have them back home.
SJPD Public Information Officer Sergeant Christian Camarillo said the department is happy to get the illegal weapons and drugs off the streets, but still wants to bring the three remaining lost puppies home to their owner.
"I, myself, own a French Bulldog and know how much these dogs mean to their owners, they are very smart dogs," Camarillo said. "Obviously (the owner) is happy, he's relieved, but at the same time, this isn't done yet. There's three puppies out there that the owner would like back."
San Jose police and the District Attorney's office found the dogs as part of an investigation into three suspected street gang members.
"For us it's a big win. These three suspects were responsible for over ten violent crimes in our city," Camarillo said. "Those crimes range from violent carjackings, to robberies, various shootings that they were associated with as well as a burglary."
In addition to dogs, the police seized equipment used to manufacture and assemble ghost guns, illegal high-capacity magazines, a ballistic vest, narcotics and a fully-automatic handgun. The gun was just one of the illegal guns police obtained.
