Police dog sniffs out suspect hiding in dumpster

Who's a good boy?

A London police dog tracked a suspected vehicle thief to a very smelly location.

A woman reported her van had been stolen from a home on Adelaide Street South on Monday. Officers spotted the vehicle with a man in the driver's seat on Leathorne Avenue north of Adelaide Street around 1 p.m.

As police approached the stolen van, the man got out and ran down an alley. That's when police dog Koda was brought in and tracked the suspect to a nearby dumpster where he was hiding among the trash.

A 20-year-old man was arrested and is charged with possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.
