Naomi and Rocco DiRago were visiting Pointe-Claire for the weekend to watch their grandson’s hockey tournament when the theft occurred Saturday evening at a parking lot outside of Fairview Mall, a known hotspot for car thefts.
“I am worried sick,” said Naomi Dirago.
The DiRagos parked their silver Toyota in the lot Saturday evening, thinking it would be safe and secure. Bella, a small husky-Chihuahua mix, was inside the vehicle in her kennel, wrapped in a woolen blanket to keep warm.
“We knew we weren’t going to be very long,” said Naomi DiRago. The couple had gone into the mall for some quick shopping, but when they returned 45 minutes later, the car and Bella were nowhere to be found.
