Hide AdHandlers from the Northampton Police dogs unit posted the witty caption to a close up pic of Bryn: “This is the face the suspect saw tonight when PD Bryn found him hiding in a skip.”
A Northamptonshire Police spokesman confirmed a 37-year-old man was arrested and later released under investigation pending further enquiries in connection with a break-in at a building in Gretton Brook Road, Corby, on Sunday (April 24).
Bryn was funded by a group of retired and current officers in memory of his namesake who died after being shot when he and handler, Ian Churms, tackled a gunman armed with a hunting rifle in Irthlingborough in 1988.
