Police pulled out all the stops on Tuesday night, October 27, to find three suspected copper thieves hiding on an industrial site in Queenborough. A drone and a police helicopter searched from above, but it was police dog Rex who tracked down the trio on the ground. Bodycam footage shows PD Rex doing what he does best in the dark, with low light making the search even harder for officers. It is a good reminder that even with high-tech gear in the sky, a dog's nose can still win the day.

The video also caught an unexpected moment during the arrest. One suspect complained that he didn't want to sit on the floor because it was "dirty," which gave viewers a good laugh. All three men are suspects, and nothing has been proven in court. The humor aside, copper theft is no small matter, since it can cost businesses thousands of pounds and disrupt services. The footage leaves people wondering how long the suspects were hiding and what exactly they were after.
