Last February in Runcorn, Cheshire, a 41-year-old man was riding an e-scooter illegally on a public road, accompanied by his two dogs. When Cheshire Police officers pulled him over and asked him to stop, the rider decided to speed off instead.
An unwitting guide
In his haste, the fleeing suspect left his pets behind. One of them, a Labrador, just couldn't keep up with the frantic pace of the e-scooter. Unaware of his owner's legal troubles, the loyal dog simply decided to head back home.
Officers only had to follow the clever pup, who naturally guided them straight to his owner's front door.
Found hiding in the loft
Once at the property, officers entered to search the premises. They eventually found the 41-year-old hiding at the very top of the house, tucked away under insulation sheets in the loft.
Following the incident, the man was sentenced to three months in prison for failing to stop, driving on an excluded road, driving without insurance, and refusing to provide a specimen for a drug test. He was also hit with a driving ban lasting four years and three months.
