The woman who returned Lady Gaga’s stolen French bulldogs was among five people arrested in connection with the theft and shooting of the music superstar’s dog walker, Los Angeles police said Thursday.
Detectives do not believe that the thieves initially knew the dogs belonged to the pop star, the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement. The motive for the Feb. 24 robbery, investigators believe, was the value of the French bulldogs which can run into the thousands of dollars.
The dog walker, Ryan Fischer, is recovering from a gunshot wound and has called the violence “a very close call with death” in social media posts. He was walking Lady Gaga’s three dogs named Asia, Koji and Gustav in Hollywood just off the famed Sunset Boulevard when he was attacked.

The five alleged suspects behind Lady Gaga s dognapping and dog walker shooting incident all pleaded not guilty after the arrest.
A new report from the Los Angeles County District Attorney s Office revealed a new development in the case. According to the document, the five culprits who allegedly stole the two French bulldogs and shot Ryan Fischer pleaded not guilty.
The arrested group includes James Jackson (18), Jaylin White (19), Lafayette Whalley (27), Harold White (40), and Jennifer McBride (50).
The latter is the same woman who returned Koji and Gustav to the police after the Bad Romance hitmaker announced a monetary reward. During that time, she claimed that she was not part of the group that performed the crime.
