UPDATE: The dog was found and reunited with his family Wednesday evening, July 26.

ORIGINAL STORY: The individuals pictured above were captured walking up to a home on 41st Street and Avenue E in Bayonne where Rocco, a Jack Russell Terrier, was secured with a leash to the front porch, around 6:20 p.m. Monday, July 24, Bayonne Police Capt. Eric Amato said.

The group then boarded a Hudson-Bergen Light Rail train at the 45th Street station (Bayonne) bound for Hoboken with Rocco. Once at the Hoboken stop, the actors boarded a Path train and exited at the 14th Street stop in Manhattan.

Surveillance footage from a train captured one of the individuals locking eyes with the security camera — Rocco in their lap. This suspect has green dreadlocks.

If anyone can identify the actors in the photographs or has any information regarding this incident or "Rocco's" whereabouts, please contact the Bayonne Police Detective Bureau at 201-858-6925.
