Dog Of A Day For Unlucky 'thieves' At Flinders University

[Ravyk]

POLICE dogs Jimmy and Sultan and their handlers were more than a match for two men arrested over after a break-in at Flinders University early this morning.

Campus security reported two men breaking into vending machines at the university about 1.45am.

Police dog Jimmy picked up the suspects' track from the vending machines and followed it to their hiding spot. The suspects tried to flee but were caught by Jimmy and his handler.

They allegedly swung a jemmy bar at the police officer and threatened him with a knife, but were disarmed by the police dog.

One suspect ran away after being released by Jimmy but was found hiding in long grass soon after by police dog Sultan.

A Waterloo Corner man, 42, and a Semaphore man, 37, were arrested and charged with seven counts of theft, going equipped to commit an offence, aggravated assault with a weapon to avoid apprehension, being unlawfully on premises, property damage and breach of bail.

Maybe it's wrong, but I always smile when I hear about things like this. The dogs seem to enjoy it so much and I must admit a certain satisfaction in seeing the 'bad guys' with a 30+kg dog hanging off their arm! :D

It used to make us smile too when we took our shepherd for a walk, how many people would cross the road to avoid walking past her.
