Diesel the dog and his handler were a big part of an arrest over the weekend.
At 11 pm on Saturday night, officers noticed a man in a vehicle wanted for breaking conditions imposed by a judge.
The officers tried to stop him but the driver refused and after a short chase, the man ditched the vehicle on Exmouth street and took off.
PSD Diesel located the subject of two North End robberies early this morning. Earlier, SJPF Canine helped arrest four suspects on weapons charges on the east-side and located stolen property for KV police. #saintjohnpolice #KRPF pic.twitter.com/V6xmMAJ0bb
