Snow makes finding burlgar easy

Police officers and their dog had an easy time tracking down a burglar as he left his footprints in the snow – he was found waiting for a bus.

Police were called to the Aire Tennis Club in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The premises had been broken into. 

It wasn’t a difficult task to follow the footprints – and their faithful dog Fury also followed the scent. 

The man was arrested as a nearby bus stop waiting for the night service. Police say he admitted to the break-in.
