UPDATE: A shocking cat kidnapping was caught on surveillance video in West Hollywood, and authorities are urging the public to help locate the beloved pet. The incident involves a friendly 6-year-old Tabby cat named Floki, who was taken by a food delivery driver on Saturday, September 27, along Shoreham Drive, just off Sunset Boulevard.
The video shows the driver interacting with Floki before grabbing him and placing him in the trunk of his Prius before speeding away. Neighbors in the area are devastated and desperate to see Floki returned home safely.
Despite having clear footage of the event, they have been unable to identify the delivery driver or the customer who ordered the food. This lack of information has left them unable to retrieve details from the food delivery app. The license plate of the vehicle is also unclear, adding to the urgency of the situation.
Floki is microchipped, which gives some hope for his safe return. A $1,000 reward is being offered for information leading to Floki’s recovery.
Neighbors are pleading for anyone who recognizes the man in the video to come forward. Those with information are encouraged to call Emir Uckardes at 310-525-4308.
A report has been filed with the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department’s West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station, and authorities are actively investigating the case. This heart-wrenching incident highlights the emotional bond families have with their pets, and the community is rallying to bring Floki back home.
Time is of the essence, and residents are urged to keep an eye out for Floki and the suspect. Every detail counts in this urgent search, and the community’s collective effort may be the key to reuniting Floki with his family.
