Suspect caught by his own dog
A criminal who gave police the slip when they turned up to arrest him was caught after cops used his own dog to sniff out his hiding place.
Police from Hannover in Germany came to arrest the 22-year-old man over allegations of involvement in a series of burglaries.
But he fled out the back door and hid in the neighbours' garden as police with a search warrant came in the front door.
But the man left behind his American Staffordshire Bull Terrier named Lumpi, and quick thinking police gave the dog the order to seek his owner out.
The dog sped into the next door garden and stood wagging its tail near the place where its owner was hiding in the bushes.
The man is now in custody, while Lumpi was handed over to the man's relatives to look after.
