Northants Police Dog Section tweeted: “PD Bryn supported @Northants_RCT earlier when a vehicle known to be involved in criminality failed to stop. The suspects decamped and two arrested after a great containment by RCT and a track from Bryn. @NorthantsChief’s investment in vehicle fleet and dogs paying off again!”
