Hull: Six arrested by dogs team

Six men were arrested yesterday after officers were called to reports of three vehicles being driven dangerously at St Andrew’s Quay, Hull.

Police were called at 10.25am yesterday (Thursday, 1 October) by concerned members of the public.

When teams arrived the occupants of the vehicles – a Mini, Ford Focus and Ford Fiesta – scattered, abandoning the cars.

But, with a little help from canine colleagues in @HPDogSection, six suspects were soon tracked down and in custody.

Four men aged 18, 20, 22 and 24 were arrested on suspicion of theft of motor vehicle.

A 21-year-old was arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and possession of class B or C drugs, while a 20-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possession with intent to supply drugs other than class A and theft of a motor vehicle.

All six have been released under investigation, pending further enquiries.
