Naperville police are continuing to investigate the Sept. 24 theft of a van containing a family dog.

The vehicle last was seen going east in the 200 block of East Ogden Avenue being driven by a woman about 25 years old with a thin build, blonde hair and wearing a light-colored top, shorts, gym shoes and dark-rimmed spectacles that may have been sunglasses.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at (630) 420-6006. A reward of up to $1,000 is being offered.
