Wolf nabs his prey after 5km chase
Police dog Wolf tracked suspects almost five kilometres over waterways and paddocks to catch two alleged burglars.
The chase started about noon on Monday, when a young woman returned to her family's rural home on the Masterton-Martinborough road, near Gladstone, to find a carload of young men leaving the property. The house had been ransacked and thousands of dollars worth of electronic equipment had gone, police said.
Dog handler Constable Lloyd McKay said the woman was able to give a clear description of the car and the men inside. The car was found in Masterton soon after – but with only one occupant and none of the stolen property. Patrols from all over Wairarapa hunted the other suspects. One patrol found a large amount of stolen goods stashed near Carterton. MORE
