MORE than 20 rescued puppies which have been nursed back to health after it is believed they were bred on a puppy farm have been rehomed.
Back in the summer two eagle-eyed members of the public called Gloucestershire Constabulary after they were concerned about what they had seen in the van in Charlton Kings, Cheltenham.
It was soon brought to a stop by police on the M6 and more than 40 malnourished puppies were found crammed inside with fears they had been stolen.
A man was subsequently arrested on suspicion of the theft of the puppies.
Police believe they had been travelling since the previous evening and the pups were crowded in crates with no food or water with many critically ill and too young to have been separated from their mothers.
