(KRON) — Puppies were recovered from a stolen vehicle by BART police on Tuesday afternoon, the public transit agency said. Five puppies were inside a blue Hyundai SUV that was stolen out of Fremont (pictured below).

The stolen vehicle drove past Oakland Coliseum BART station as officers tried to conduct a stop. The suspect refused to stop, prompting a police chase. During the pursuit, one of the dogs got out of the vehicle through an open window, according to BART police.
