Police have released a CCTV image of a man they want to speak to following the theft of a dog in the city centre.
The incident took place at about 4.30pm last Monday, June 17, when the dog's owner tied its lead to a bin outside a bank in Humberstone Gate.
When he returned five minutes later, the dog had gone.
Bullseye, a much loved family pet, is a two-year-old, tan and white American Bulldog/ boxer cross. He wears a silver coloured collar with a black strap and is micro-chipped.
Officers would like to speak to a man in connection with the incident. He is white and was wearing a blue Leicester City football shirt.
Pc Heather Brown, the investigating officer, said: "Bullseye's owner cannot understand why someone would want to steal an innocent creature and has been left extremely upset by the incident.
"We are appealing for the man in the photo to contact us as he may have information that could help with our inquiries."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Pc Brown by calling 101. Alternatively, contact Crimestoppers, which is free and anonymous, on 0800 555 111.
