Some pricey puppies have been stolen from a local motel, and the owner is beside himself, pleading for their safe return.

The robbery happened on Tuesday at the Blue Star Motor Inn on Route 1.    

Jeffrey Wilson, a local construction worker, had been living at the motel with his pit bull Jazmyn and her 12, five-week-old puppies, while he tried to find a more permanent place to stay.

Wilson and his girlfriend were recently in a car accident, and when they returned from the hospital, they found the dogs missing.  The door to the hotel was kicked in and the cages were opened, but nothing else was taken.
 
Wilson already had buyers lined up for some of the pups, and estimates the whole litter is worth between $8,000 and $9,000.

ABC 6 chief reporter Jim Hummel says Wilson is now offering a reward for Jazmyn and her dozen puppies...
