LUTZ — Authorities are looking for a thief who snatched a tiny puppy with a big price tag — $1,000 — from a Lutz pet store Wednesday.

The thief is a man, 17 to 19 years old, 5 feet 10 and 150 pounds. He has brown hair and brown eyes and was last seen wearing dark pajama-style pants and a light-colored T-shirt.

The puppy is a 10-week-old tea cup chihuahua that weights 1 pound 8 ounces, has no name and costs $1,000.

The man went to the Puppy Love Store, 5933 N Florida Ave., to ask about the puppy Tuesday, and when he returned the next day, he picked up the puppy and ran out the front door, the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office said.

Deputies ask anyone with any information about the theft to call (813) 247-8200 or 1-800-873-8477.
