A police dog chased down and detained his second suspect in as many weeks.
PD Jester was on patrol with his handler when reports came in about a missing car in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The vehicle was spotted in Main Street, Kimberley, and was followed towards Swingate where it was found parked up.
Multiple suspects fled on foot and Jester was deployed to give chase.
Moments later the dog caught up with and detained a suspect.
Two 18-year-old men and a 16-year-old boy were arrested, and the car was returned to its owner.
PD Jester, a young Belgian Malinois, who joined the force earlier this year, detained another suspect on 7 September after a motorcycle had been reported stolen.
Sergeant Nick Dachtler, of Nottinghamshire Police’s dog section, said:
“Jester is relatively new in service and is developing nicely.
“This was his second successful chase in as many weeks and yet another reminder of the value of dogs in detaining fleeing suspects.”
