 The following stories are just a sample of what our dogs have achieved recently. Many of these crimes may not have been detected without the skill of the handlers and the instincts and training of the dogs themselves. 
Khan and his handler were called to an incident where a tenant had been disturbed by an intruder. When discovered, the intruder made off but was quickly tracked down by Khan. When photos were prepared and identified, it was discovered that this particular intruder was a prolific housebreaker who was subsequently arrested, cautioned and charged. 
Four occupants within a vehicle were seen to run off after colliding with parked cars. Police attended and Max, assigned to track those responsible, followed his nose through a network of paths, quickly tracking one individual who happened to be subject to a curfew bail. Shortly after, the remaining occupants of the vehicle were tracked to a tenement building where they were in hiding. On seeing the dog, they gave up any notion of further flight and were subsequently detained. Having spotted a stolen car, police immediately followed until the vehicle was abandoned and the occupants took flight. The area was cordoned off and the driver was quickly apprehended. Even though one of the remaining occupants had climbed a tree to avoid detection, all were traced successfully and quickly by Max. A youth, appearing to be attempting to start a motorcycle on waste ground was reported to the police. When challenged he ran off, making him appear even more suspicious. After the second challenge, and realising that Max was about to be released, he stopped in his tracks. The motorcycle turned out to be stolen and the youth was detained and charged. |
