Arrests were made on Tuesday and Thursday of this week.
When an Ottawa police neighbourhood resource team pulled over a car near Hawthorne Road and Stevenage Drive at about 9 p.m. Thursday, the driver fled on foot, the police service said.
A police dog tracked and found the driver, who was arrested and charged, along with a passenger who stayed in the vehicle.Earlier this week, at about 6 a.m. Tuesday, a K9 patrol unit tried to pull over a stolen vehicle on the eastbound Highway 417 near Innes Road, police said. The driver of the vehicle didn’t stop, but soon ditched the vehicle and fled on foot. The dog tracked down a suspect and an arrest was made. A 19-year-old man faces charges, police said.
When K9 officers aren’t working on specific calls for service, they routinely patrol the city with their dogs on board.
