Wanted Man Captured by K9 and Arrested After Dramatic Chase

Rochdale, UK - A 31-year-old man wanted for making threats to kill was apprehended in a Rochdale back garden on Saturday, April 19th, following a dramatic chase involving a police car ramming attempt and the keen nose of a police dog named Harley.

The pursuit began when a sergeant from the Heywood Neighbourhood Team spotted the suspect. After initially losing sight of the vehicle, the officer located the suspect at his home address, still inside the car.

According to Greater Manchester Police, the suspect then attempted to ram the police car, with the officer still inside, after noticing the police presence. He subsequently fled the scene, driving over a pedestrianised area in an attempt to evade capture.

Abandoning the vehicle, the suspect made a run for it. However, his escape was short-lived thanks to the efforts of police dog Harley. The K9 successfully tracked the suspect to a nearby back garden, where he was apprehended.
