Good boy! Police dog tracks drink-driving suspect all the way from crash to front door as officers arrest 45-year-old woman

• The crime-fighting canine was able to sniff them out from half a kilometre away
• This led officers to an address on Anwick Road where a woman was arrested 

A police dog tracked a drink-driving suspect all the way from the site of a crash to their front door.

Lincolnshire Police were called to a crash on Park Lane, in Ewerby, Lincolnshire, on October 5.

A vehicle had been abandoned by the driver so officers sent police dog Orbit to find the suspect.

The crime-fighting canine, who joined Lincolnshire Police in June 2019, was able to sniff them out from half a kilometre away.

This led officers to an address on Anwick Road where a 45-year-old Sleaford woman was arrested on suspicion of drink driving.

A Lincolnshire Police Dog Section spokesperson said: ‘Overnight, PD Orbit has attended the scene of a traffic collision where the occupants have left the location.

‘Orbit has tracked from the scene to the front door of an address. Once inside the registered keeper of the vehicle was located and arrested on suspicion of drink driving.’

The force’s dogs are starring in a charity calendar priced at £10.

Each month, the calendar features a specialist police dog photographed in the beautiful rural landscapes of Lincolnshire. 

There is also a mini profile of each dog stating their name, age, who their handler is and length of service in the force.

All proceeds will be donated to the Thin Blue Paw Foundation, a national charity that supports serving and retired police dogs across the United Kingdom.

The foundation provides much needed financial support to over 300 unsung canine heroes and their owners to enable them to have a long and happy retirement.
