Two suspected burglars felt the full force of the paw when they were tracked down by Police Dog Parker and his human handler.

Officers were called to The Row, in New Ash Green, to reports a shop had been burgled.

A window had been smashed in the burglary, which took place at 1.20am on September 18, and two men had made off.

A 26-year-old man from New Ash Green was located by officers in The Mote and was arrested on suspicion of burglary.

Police Dog Parker and his handler then tracked from the scene of the burglary and soon found a quantity of cigarettes, balaclavas and gloves.

The track continued into Lambardes where a 25-year-old man from Higham was located and also arrested on suspicion of burglary.

Both the men were subsequently bailed pending further investigation.
