STOCKHOLM, Sweden - A pack of police dogs in training passed a vital test when they tracked down a bank robber in southwestern Sweden who had unwittingly dumped his car next to their canine compound.
Police said the 42-year-old man, who was not identified, had robbed a bank Tuesday and made off with a small amount of cash. He abandoned the car in the nearby town of Jonsered and took off running, apparently unaware that he had parked near the police dog compound.
As soon as police found the stolen car, they released a canine unit that quickly tracked down the suspect.
"He definitely picked the wrong place" to leave the car, police spokesman Jan Strannegard said.
There were about 70 dogs in the training ground at the time, police said. It was not known how many of them were used in the hunt.
