Caught in the woods
Super nose Safira sniffed out burglar in the forest
A burglar was caught red-handed in Feldkirch (Vorarlberg) on Wednesday night: the man was able to escape, but not for very long, because police dog "Safira" was on his trail.
Early Wednesday morning, at around 1.30 a.m., the residents of a detached house in Feldkirch noticed a burglar moving around in their home. Startled by the homeowners, the perpetrator fled into a neighboring forest.
The police were immediately notified and launched a manhunt for the thief. The police systematically searched the wooded area - with the help of their four-legged colleague "Safira".
She quickly had the right nose and picked up the scent through the dark and dense forest. She single-mindedly followed the scent trail over a distance of 750 meters. After just eleven minutes, she tracked down the burglar behind a tree and caught him. The 21-year-old had been hiding there. The arrest followed.
In the course of securing evidence, it was discovered that the 21-year-old had broken into another house in the neighborhood. The Moldovan had taken some cash and electrical goods from the houses.
Further burglaries proven
Thanks to the meticulous work of the forensics team, the man was also found to have broken into various huts and vehicles since July of this year. He was taken to Feldkirch prison.
