Two of Wiltshire's Police Dogs are being praised for their work in catching suspects.

PD Texa successfully found a man hiding in a bush after the Roads Policing Unit spotted a car that was suspected to have been stolen.

Thanks to Texa's tracking skills, the man was arrested on suspicion of theft of motor vehicle, possession of cannabis and going equipped.

Meanwhile in Chippenham, PD Champ helped locate two suspects who were fleeing from a vehicle.

The pair were wanted for bilking from a restaurant, driving offences and failing to stop.
