Five people have been arrested over the violent theft of two French bulldogs belonging to US artist Lady Gaga.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In February attackers shot dog walker Ryan Fischer in the chest and took Lady Gaga’s dogs, Koji and Gustav.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Mr Fischer had to have part of his lung removed but survived the attack, and has since left the hospital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On Thursday Los Angeles police announced they had charged three suspects for the incident itself as well as two others as accomplices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

James Jackson, Jaylin White and Lafayette Whaley – aged 18, 19, and 27, respectively – have been charged with attempted murder and robbery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Officers also charged 40-year-old Harold White – Jaylin White’s father – and Jennifer McBride, 50, with accessory to attempted murder. Ms McBride returned the dogs to the police two days after the theft, after Lady Gaga had offered a $500,000 (\u00a3359,000) reward for their return.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Detectives were able to establish McBride had a relationship [with] Harold White,” a Los Angeles police press release said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

All four men charged were “documented gang members”, the release said, without giving details.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
