A statement from the force warned locals not to “compromise the legal process” on social media.

It said: “As some of you may know already, a 34-year-old man was arrested yesterday and charged in connection with the disappearance of Pixie the pug dog in Dundee on July 16. He is to be reported to the Procurator Fiscal.

“As someone has now been charged, for legal reasons we can’t provide any further information until such time as he appears in court.

“While we are aware that the identity of this person has been distributed on social media, again we have to ask that anyone commenting here does not mention any names so as not to compromise the legal process.

“Thanks for all the help we’ve received and to the witnesses who have come forward to speak with us, it’s very much appreciated.”
