Police dog helps nab suspect

Aug 1, 2023 | 11:12 AM

Old technology in the form of a police dog’s nose combined with new satellite technology helped Prince Albert Police catch a suspected vehicle thief.

PAPS was called just after 1 a.m. today to a report of a recently stolen vehicle.

Officers learned the vehicle had OnStar navigation and used it to find and disable the vehicle.

They had already tried to stop it but the suspect fled.
