The newest four-legged member the Chatham-Kent Police Service was called into action over the weekend to track down a suspect.
Officers were called about a suspicious man on McDowell Line around 4:30 Sunday morning and say the accused stripped down and made himself comfortable in a hot tub in the backyard. The suspect then allegedly went into a nearby home and stole a blanket.
K9 Helix was called in and tracked the man to a nearby drainage ditch, hiding under a tree.
A 35-year-old London man has now been charged with trespassing at night, break and enter, and failing to comply with his bail hearings.
