    A Clarenville police dog was instrumental in catching a vehicle thief on Saturday.

It was located at a gas station in Lethbridge.  The driver, Dylan Ryan, was approached in the parking lot and was informed of his arrest.  He fled into a wooded area. Officers learned that he had stolen some merchandise from the gas station prior to fleeing from police. A short while later, Ryan was observed near Lethbridge RV Park and again fled from police.  RCMP Police Service Dog Marlow and her handler attended the area, tracked the suspect and located him hidden in a wooded area.  Ryan was taken into custody without further incident.
