    Police Service Dog Thor is pictured here, taking a well-deserved swim to rinse off some debris from the scene of the arrest.

    A warrant was issued and police, along with Thor, went into the home. Thor was deployed and found him immediately, hiding in the attic.

    Police Dog Thor sprang into action last Thursday and helped nab a thief in Stephenville Crossing. Bay St. George RCMP and Police Dog Services West were looking into the theft of an ATV. Shortly after the report was received, the quad was reported to have crashed into Coleman’s Food Centre on Main Street. The driver fled the scene. Later that evening, RCMP received information that the suspect were seen on Seal Cove Road. Police Service Dog Thor quickly tracked the suspect to a residence on Seal Cove Road. A warrant was issued and police, along with Thor, went into the home. Thor was deployed and found him immediately, hiding in the attic. Thirty five-year-old Carl Junior (CJ) Young was arrested and will appear in court at a later date to face charges of possession of property obtained by crime, three counts each of breach of probation and breach of release order, and resisting arrest.
