Police dog helps to make middle of the night arrests after two men seen carrying generator in Northampton

PD Ebby was deployed at around 4.20am on Tuesday (June 17), after two men were seen carrying a petrol generator in St James Mill Road.

The police dog tracked the men nearby, after they attempted to run away, according to the Northants Police Dog Section on X.

A Northamptonshire Police spokeswoman added: “Officers attended the scene, including PD Ebby, who tracked the men nearby.

“The men, aged 36 and 34, both of Northampton, were arrested on suspicion of burglary other than a dwelling with intent to steal.”

Both men have been released under investigation, pending further enquiries.
