A police dog was instrumental in helping track down a suspect who fled from police in the RM of Hanover, Manitoba RCMP say.
On April 14, officers from the St-Pierre-Jolys detachment were called to Road 30N at Road 28E, where an abandoned vehicle had been reported.
Police said they spotted a second vehicle beside the abandoned one, and a man got in the second vehicle and took off when he saw police.
