A 49-year old man who tried to get away from police in Stephenville, was tracked and located by RCMP Police Service Dog Thor. Shortly after 6 a.m. on Wednesday (February 12th) police were called to a residential break and enter in progress on Townview Road. Surveillance footage captured a man inside the residence.
