Dramatic body-cam footage shows the moment the clever K9 led his team of officers to the loft, where the burglar was curled up behind a wall. The 26-year-old man was chased by police after he rammed into one of their vehicles in a stolen BMW on August 3.The driver sped off before being pursued by traffic cops to Beeches Road in Oscott, Great Barr, Birmingham.
Police sniffer dog Romeo led officers to an address nearby where cannabis plants and a suspected firearm were recovered. Body-worn camera footage captures the hound leading his handler to a small attic space in one of the rooms. The officer opens the door to find the topless suspect cowering in the corner and cheerily says: "Hello mate!"
