LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Authorities are seeking the public's help in locating a puppy that was taken from from a victim during a robbery in Los Angeles.
On July 29, the victim was walking the four-month-old brown chihuahua on the 5000 block of Maplewood Avenue, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. As the victim was looking down at their cell phone, police say a suspect pushed the victim to the floor from behind.

The puppy, named Bean, weighs approximately six pounds and has a white chest marking.
The suspect is described as a man in his late 20s, five feet nine inches tall and weighs about 180 pounds.
Anyone with information is asking to contact detectives at LAPD's Olympic Division by calling (213) 382-9463.
