Two men have been arrested after police officers responded to a suspected burglary in progress – and Police Dog Vichy sniffed out crucial evidence.
North Yorkshire Police say they were contacted by a member of the public at 8:20pm last night to report suspicious activity around Baxtergate in Whitby.
Officers were immediately deployed, and noted what appeared to be damage to the steel doors of a shop. After checking CCTV, they stopped two men in a vehicle a short distance away.
Police Dog Vichy and handler also attended the location and were able to find a large bag containing tools that had been discarded nearby.
Both men were arrested on suspicion of going equipped for theft and attempted burglary. One was further arrested on suspicion of drug driving. They both remain in police custody at this time.
