SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. 31, 2023 (Gephardt Daily) — Police dog June sniffed out a thief in her first bust as shared on social media by her employers.
“Drop us a like (on Facebook) to show your support for K-9 June and her handler on their first capture as a team,” SLCPD said online. “The other day, K-9 June and her handler got waved down by a loss prevention officer about a theft that just occurred.”
June and her handler jumped into action as they saw the suspect making a run for it, police said in the Monday night post, noting the grocery store’s loss prevention officer helped out keeping eyes on the fleeing suspect.
“Once our K-9 officer deployed K-9 June, she did her magic and followed the track to a nearby apartment complex.
“Our bloodhounds are remarkably talented, and K-9 June followed the track to the suspect’s hiding location – sitting in a chair, under a stairwell.”
Officers reviewed surveillance video and confirmed the person June tracked down was in fact the person who stole from the grocery store.
“Congrats to K-9 June and her handler!”
