Meet PD Rogue – the heroic police dog who helped nab two men accused of a hit-and-run in Bedfordshire.
Chase Ends Near Hastings After Hit-and-Run
Police tracked a suspect vehicle heading towards Hastings using ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) data. When officers tried to stop the car, it rammed a police vehicle and sped off.
Empty Car, But Not Empty Hands for PD Rogue
Officers later found the abandoned car with no one inside. That’s when PD Rogue sprang into action.
After sniffing out one man hiding under a vehicle, PD Rogue tried to climb a wall. Handler PC Kevin Parsons guided him through a garden gate and over a bushy patch where they found a second suspect hiding.
