Police K-9 tracked, located three suspects in Livonia car entries
A police K-9 was used to track and locate three people suspected of searching parked cars in a neighborhood in Livonia, Michigan.
The Livonia Police Department shared clips from a recording of the 911 call and residential security video and bodycam video from the K-9 search and apprehension; in addition to a press release relating the circumstances.
The 911 call on April 8 came from a resident who got an alert from his Ring doorbell camera of motion outside.
When the man looked in that direction, he saw three people attempting to open doors of parked vehicles.
As police arrived at the location, the suspects ran off.
Within 10 minutes, K-9 Kasimir had tracked and located the three, who were hiding in the backyard of a nearby home. The three were then taken into custody.
A handgun that was reported stolen out of the City of Detroit was also recovered.
"This incident highlights the power of community and police working together. A special thanks to the Livonia resident, our dedicated night shift officers, and K9 Kasimir for their swift and coordinated response," the press release said.
