3:40 AM January 14th was a sleepy Saturday morning in Silver Bay. The Silver Bay Police Department received a call concerning a burglary in progress at Bri-Esa’s Convenience Store. Officer Schubert learned that the suspect had fled on foot from the back door of Bri-Esa’s Convenience Store. He requested K9 Arrow and Deputy Dietz to respond to the scene to attempt tracking the suspect.
A half-hour later, K9 Arrow and Deputy Dietz arrived on the scene. They began tracking, and Officer Schubert provided cover. K9 Arrow located a scent and pulled hard out the back door and across Silver Bay’s roads and sidewalks for almost 3/4 of a mile. The scent ended at a house in Silver Bay.
The officers obtained a search warrant and recovered all the stolen items. A large amount of narcotic paraphernalia was discovered as well. Two individuals were arrested – one for burglary and possession of stolen property, one for outstanding warrants.
Thank you to local law enforcement and their K9 companions for being ready to keep our communities safe any hour of the day or night! The work of a K9 dog is truly invaluable and fascinating, with their powerful noses able to sniff out even the faintest scents.
