Brave Police Dog Catches Knife-Wielding Burglars Fleeing Scene of a Burglary


Two men have been jailed after they were caught fleeing the scene of a callous burglary in Croydon.

Shaun Bryan and Gino Sawyers entered an address in Northcote Road where they threatened two women, aged 25 and 33, with violence and stole their mobile phones, a laptop and cash before absconding from the property.

When officers arrived they swiftly activated a mobile phone tracking app which traced Bryan and Sawyers to London Road.


On seeing the police arrive, the pair ran from the officers and attempted to discard the evidence. However, a six-and-a-half year old German Shepherd police dog called Jacob, pursued the suspects and quickly detained them.

Detective Constable John Davis, from Croydon CID, said: "This burglary was of a particularly violent nature, the males subjected the two females to a ruthless attack by threatening them with knives and violence in their own home. Thanks to the quick thinking of local officers and their teamwork with a dog support unit, these two very dangerous individuals were located and arrested soon after the offence. It is very satisfying that these criminals are off the streets and they will be serving lengthy custodial sentences for their actions."

Both suspects were sentenced to six years and three months imprisonment for aggravated burglary.
