A police dog helped locate a high risk missing person on during a night time search of Swindon after finding them hiding in some bushes.
Officers were searching for the high risk individual throughout Monday night with a helicopter being deployed over Stanton Woods and Stanton Fitzwarrren.
The Police crew were aided by two of their dogs, PDs Stan and Frankie with each animal taking one side of the woodland each.
Stan picked up a track whilst searching and located the missing person who was concealed in undergrowth.
A Wiltshire Police spokesperson said: “The hero of the hour was PD Stan and his ‘chauffeur’ PC Kavanagh.
“Stan found the person, despite the fact they were completely concealed in bushes in the dark. Good boy Stan, good boy!”
