A stolen delivery van and a suspect with a 20-minute head start? No problem for PD JoJo! 🐾

JoJo tracked through woodland and difficult terrain, never losing the scent. The suspect ran straight into the arms of waiting officers.

A great team effort and a suspect detained! 🚔

Over 3 hours into the search for a vulnerable missing woman, PD Ike got to work. His free search became a track despite heavy footfall, leading through dense woodland and down a steep embankment. There he found her unable to get up. Now safely located. What a hero, Ike! 🐾

On Monday PDs Poppy & Ike worked together to apprehend a wanted male. Poppy tracked the male & when he realised the net was closing in he made off again right into the path of Ike before going into gardens. Ike quickly brought this to an end locating him hiding in a bush 👏 💪

After a male made off from armed response officers earlier today, he was quickly detained. PD Bear was then tasked to search the area for discarded property. 🐻🐾

His search paid off! A mobile phone was found hidden in heavy undergrowth. 📱

Wonder what we'll find on there… 👀

Even from the comfort of retirement PD Quga is still delivering justice. In 2023 Reece Summers was brought down to earth by PD Quga just like the drone he was flying to convey drugs crashed into Walton Prison. Over 12 months on the run last week Summers was jailed for 2 years 🦷
