‘Stressful day’: Shoplifted baby lizard from Wayne County pet store recovered

A baby bearded dragon named Hans was stolen from Lou’s Pet Shop in Grosse Pointe Woods but was recovered within 12 hours. The theft involved two individuals who distracted an employee while one took the lizard, which was caught on surveillance video. The suspects left their correct information, allowing the police to trace them, and Hans was returned safely. The shop owner, Don Cook, decided not to press charges but banned the individuals from the store, which is known for housing exotic and rescued animals.
