A police dog helped nab a food burglar Tuesday afternoon, according to the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office.
Right around noon, deputies were called to a home along the Olympic Highway for a burglary in progress. The homeowner found a stranger in their house, helping themselves to some food, authorities said.
It is believed the burglar got in through an unlocked door.
“Deputies responded swiftly to the scene,” according to a post on the Grays Harbor County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page. “This included Deputy McKechnie and his K9 partner, Titus, along with Lt. Ramirez, who formed a search team and began searching the wooded area.”
Other deputies were also called out. They got some help from a nearby Hoquiam Police Department detective and a Fish and Wildlife officer and set up containment.
“Following the sharp nose of K9 Titus, the subject was quickly located and taken into custody,” the post said.
Suspect booked into Grays Harbor County Jail
