Mako the police dog got his man before breakfast on Saturday morning.

Just before 6 a.m. on Saturday September 3, frontline Kamloops RCMP officers were called to a report of a stolen vehicle, from the 1100-block of Surrey Ave.

The vehicle was tracked to an area under the Halston Connector Bridge and Kootenay Way, where the driver abandoned the vehicle and ran on foot.

Officers contained the area, until Mako and his handler could arrive.

S/Sgt. Shoihet of the Kamloops RCMP states, Following a short track, Mako located the suspect hiding in an area of brush. He was taken into custody after a brief struggle with the dog.

The 39-year-old Kamloops man, was taken to hospital for assessment and released to appear in court at a later date to face possible charges.

I know no one likes getting called out of bed before 6 a.m. but for a police dog to catch his guy before breakfast will trump the early morning call every time, says S/Sgt. Shoihet.
