Police Dog Hank had been well trained in apprehending suspects. PIC: SA Police
A teenager who was allegedly trespassing at a caravan park in South Australia discovered he had bitten off more than he could chew after he was apprehended by a vigilant police dog.
Park security called police to the site on Military Road in Adelaide’s western suburbs in the early hours of last Tuesday morning after an unknown man was spotted riding a scooter around the caravans.
Police say patrols attended with Police Dog Hank to search the area. A person was seen hiding under a caravan and tried to run off, but PD Hank and his handler gave chase, with the dog quickly apprehending the suspect.
A 19-year-old Aberfoyle Park man was arrested and charged with being unlawfully on premises and possessing drug equipment.  He was also wanted for numerous outstanding theft matters.
He was initially refused police bail to appear in the Port Adelaide Magistrates Court.

We are always vigilant of public access around LGA owned parks which rarely, if at all, provide some form of active security monitoring. If there is any public walk-way adjacent to the park, we don’t stay!
