Victoria Police K9 service dog Zender helps capture man wanted on warrants

Share

A man with a history of running from police was chased down and caught by VicPD K9 service dog Zender as he fled from custody.

In a statement, Victoria Police said that officers attended the 200-block of Dallas Road at about 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

They were called after a man wanted on unendorsed warrants and in breach of his recognizance was spotted in the James Bay neighbourhood.

The man was able to flee the scene before police arrived — multiple police units attended the area to search for the suspect.

Around two hours later, he was spotted in the 400-block of Quebec Street, where PSD Zender took him down.

The man was taken into custody without incident or injury, and was held for morning court.
