Police Dog Sniffs Out Drugs and Knives in Bognor Blitz
Early Morning Raid Turns Up Hidden Haul
In the dead of night on November 28, Sussex Police’s canine unit launched a swift crackdown on crime in Bognor Regis. Reports of drug dealing and antisocial behaviour around Hastings Close and Trinity Way set officers on high alert.
PD Billy: The Hero K9 Strikes
Enter PD Billy, a sharp five-year-old German Shepherd with the force since puppyhood. When a hooded figure bolted at 1:10am, Billy was unleashed. The dog’s lightning-fast tracking skills led cops straight to the suspect, hiding between two houses.
Hidden Stash Uncovered
Billy wasn’t done yet. After the 20-year-old suspect, James Boden of Queens Field West, was caught, Billy sniffed out a secret stash buried under concrete slabs. Officers found cannabis, scales, small “deal bags,” and a knife—all thanks to the keen-nosed canine.
Justice Ahead
Boden was arrested and is now facing trial at Worthing Magistrates’ Court. Billy’s expert work highlights the crucial role of police dogs in tackling crime on our streets.
