Hull: Drone and police dog help with burglar arrest

A 15-year-old boy remains in custody on suspicion of burglary following his arrest in the early hours of this morning (Thursday 13th August).

At approximately 3.55am, police received a report that a property on Crompton Road, Hull had been broken into. A bag had been reported stolen that contained car keys which had allegedly been used to subsequently steal a car.

Officers located the car in North Hull but after it failed to stop and the occupants began to run away, the dogs section and a drone from Humberside Fire and Rescue Service joined the area search.

As part of the search, police dog Tom was deployed who detained a teenage boy in a nearby garden.

Enquiries are ongoing but police are asking anyone who may have witnessed the incident to get in touch on 101, quoting crime reference number 16/84678/20.
