Ceto the police dog, who only completed his training in May of this year, helped Manitoba First Nations Police make two more arrests over the weekend.

The first incident took place Friday night on Birdtail Road at Waywayseecappo First Nation, where two assault suspects were spotted running into the bushes, both in different directions.

Police said Ceto tracked the first suspect 500 metres into the bush, where he was arrested without incident.

The second suspect was tracked for 800 metres, where she was arrested for assault and numerous breaches, and held in custody.

Early Saturday morning, Ceto was back in action, tracking a suspect who fled from police around 3 a.m.
