An Amazon driver in Florida was arrested after stealing a French bulldog, estimated to be worth about $4,000, from a residence while making a delivery, authorities said.
The Hernando County Sheriff’s Office in Florida said deputies responded to a home on Copper Hill Drive in Spring Hill on Dec. 23, after receiving a report of a missing French bulldog.
When officers arrived, they learned the owner had let her dog, Kali, outside at about 9:15 a.m. the day before.
Soon, Kali’s owner realized her dog had escaped from the fenced backyard.
A neighbor told the dog’s owner he saw Kali walking toward a Hispanic man in his mid-20s, who was wearing an Amazon uniform and driving a white Chevrolet Cruz.
The neighbor added that the man had just delivered a package to an address on Copper Hill Drive, and after interacting with the dog, he drove off with it.

Another neighbor, police said, told Kali’s owner she saw the man stop his vehicle on Larkenheath Drive before picking up the dog, putting it in the back seat of the car, and driving away.
Kali’s owner contacted Amazon customer support, who suggested involving law enforcement.
So, the owner contacted the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office and provided a photo with a detailed description of Kali, a 1-year-old French bulldog with a retail value of $4,000.

Using that information, deputies identified 34-year-old Reinier Revilla as the suspect and went to his home to interview him on Jan. 16 about the missing dog.
The sheriff’s office said Revilla admitted to taking the dog and that she is still in his possession.
Kali was eventually recovered from a nearby house and returned to its owner that day.
The next day, detectives obtained a warrant for Revilla’s arrest for grand theft, and he turned himself in on January 19.
Revilla was released from custody after posting a $5,000 bond.
“We are in constant contact with the customer throughout this process and are grateful for the work of the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office and Kali’s return home,” Austin Stowe, a spokesperson for Amazon told Fox News Digital.
Although Stowe did not name Revilla specifically, the spokesperson said “that individual” no longer delivers packages for Amazon.
The investigation into Kali’s theft is ongoing and detectives encourage anyone with information about the case to call Hernando County Crime Stoppers at 1-866-990-TIPS (8477), to leave an anonymous tip.
