Police Service Dog Thor is being credited with helping to apprehend a man who allegedly stole an ATV in Stephenville Crossing last Thursday morning.
A short time afterward, a quad reportedly crashed into Coleman’s on Main Street, but despite the crash the operator drove away.
Later that night, police received information that the suspect was in a home on Seal Cove Road, and police dog Thor helped officers zero in on the exact address.
The dog then found the suspect hiding in the attic.
Thirty-five-year-old CJ (Carl Junior) Young is in custody and will appear in court at a later date to face charges of possession of property obtained by crime, breaches of probation and release orders and resisting arrest.
