Police dog helps catch Falkirk van thief
A police dog called Chase lived up to his name by catching a van thief in Falkirk.
The specially trained German Shepherd and his handler Andy Inglis attended a call out to the Brightons area on Thursday, March 21 after a van was reported stolen.
The vehicle was found abandoned in the Tamfourhill Road area and a 30-year-old man was later traced by PD Chase near the Falkirk Wheel and subsequently charged in connection with the van theft and other road traffic offences.
A Police Scotland spokesman said: “We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to the public for their support and assistance with this matter.”
