When a domestic abuser reportedly assaulted & strangled their former partner fled into a wooded area near the scene it could have taken hours for 2 legged officers to find him. It took PD Kylo about 20 min & he gently persuaded them to accompany him to a waiting police van π

β οΈ PD Ace is a new recruit, licensing a few months ago. He attended a decamp after a pursuit. Ace put his amazing sense of smell to use - tracking through fields trees. Sadly he didn't catch his suspect, BUT he did find his clumsily dropped wallet containing his ID. Oooops π

π PD Cleo searched a disused office building after reports of an intruder. While searching the third floor Cleo suddenly became very interested in a cupboard in which she found FIVE burglars (presumably hoping to escape to Narnia) hiding inside.

π§Έ PD Bear assisted with a search after a driver failed to stop and decamped on foot. While his two-legged colleagues got to the driver first (lucky for him), Bear found a load of deal bags containing a powder that we're confident isn't for laundry! Driver was arrested for PWITS

π₯· What do you get if you're hapless burglars who think hiding will help you and come face to face with PD Armour hiding in the shadows when you try to leave?
A free ride... β
An all-inclusive stay... β
Fresh underwear... probably
3 in custody for burglary!

PD Ghost was recently haunting the motorways with our @roadpoliceBCH colleagues. He ended up spooking the driver of stolen high value luxury car who clearly wasn't expecting an otherworldly visitation. 1 frightened thief taken away in cuffs and probably a very grateful owner!

PD Bonnie conducted a search of gardens after a suspect wanted for domestic violence offences made off from the scene. His hide and seek skills were no match for Bonnie's nose and he was located performing a 'plank' on top of a wall. How appropriate!
