Five people have been arrested in Los Angeles accused with attempted murder and robbery, after they stole two of Lady Gaga‘s French bulldogs.  

Sources told TMZ they were arrested on Thursday, after police obtained security footage of the dogs being dropped off in an alley after the theft on February 27. 

Three of the suspects — James Jackson, 18; Jaylin White, 19; and Lafayette Whaley, 27 — have been charged with attempted murder and armed robbery, according to the LAPD. 

The three are documented gang members who targeted the bulldogs because they knew of their high value. When bought from reputable breeders, the animals can cost between $3,000 and $5,000.

They were not aware that Gaga was the owner, the police said.

Two additional defendants — Harold White, a known gang member and the 40-year-old father of Jaylin White, and his girlfriend Jennifer McBride, 50 — are accused of acting as accessories after the fact. 

All five suspects are being held on $1 million bail, according to booking records.

McBride is said to have returned the dogs to the police two nights later, prompted by Gaga’s offer of a $500,000 reward. 

McBride surrendered the dogs at the LAPD’s Olympic Station. 

‘This was a brazen street crime that left a man seriously wounded,’ said George Gascon, Los Angeles County District Attorney. 

‘We have alleged very serious charges in this case and have faith that justice will be appropriately served as this case unfolds in court.’ 

The defendants are expected to be arraigned on Thursday afternoon at the Foltz Criminal Justice Center in downtown Los Angeles.  

The American Kennel Club lists French bulldogs as the fourth most popular breed in the United States, behind Labradors, golden retrievers and German shepherds. Their small size, however, makes the French bulldog a popular target for thieves.

Gaga’s dogwalker, Ryan Fischer, 30, was shot four times while he was out with her three dogs, Koji, Gustav and Miss Asia.

The thieves then ran away with two of the animals – Koji and Gustav.

Miss Asia escaped from the gang before they could put her in their vehicle, and ran back to Fischer. 

Koji and Gustav were found two days later, on  

Gaga was in Rome filming House of Gucci at the time of the dognapping.

She did not pay out the reward, due to police suspicions that the woman who dropped the dogs off had acted with the dog-stealing ring.

He has posted images of himself in a hospital bed on his social media.

He also thanked the first responders who saved his life and called for his ‘attempted murderers’ to be brought to justice.

Fischer is expected to make a full recovery after he was punched to the ground and shot in the chest while walking the animals on West Hollywood’s Sierra Bonita Avenue at about 10pm on February 24. 

TMZ had also cited sources close to the investigation as saying they believe that the incident may have been the result of a gang initiation but they later said the theft was part of a dog-stealing ring. 

In the caption of his first Instagram photo, which showed him hooked up to a breathing tube, Fischer described how Miss Asia ran over to him after evading the thieves who fled with the other pooches. 

‘Four days ago, while a car sped away and blood poured from my gun shot wound, an angel trotted over and laid next to me,’ he wrote. 

‘My panicked screams calmed as I looked at her, even though it registered that the blood pooling around her tiny body was my own.’

Fischer described how he feared he wouldn’t survive the attack, writing: ‘I cradled Asia as best I could, thanked her for all the incredible adventures we’d been on together, apologized that I couldn’t defend her brothers, and then resolved that I would still try to save them… and myself.

‘Hopeful that my calm(ish) and forceful pleas for the urgency of my care as well as the focused descriptions of the dogs would be enough to help me and get enough police and media attention to find the boys, I looked backed at my guardian angel. I smiled at her shaking form, thankful that at least she would be okay.

‘From that point, right as the neighbors poured from their homes and restaurant to us on the sidewalk, life has taken a very sudden and unexpected turn.’
