Windsor police are crediting the canine unit with helping nab a suspect after a home break-in.
Officers were dispatched to a residence in the 5200 block of Raymond Avenue for a report of property damage that just occurred on Friday at 4 a.m.
The complainant told police that his basement window was smashed but nobody was around.
Officers arrived and saw fresh blood around the window and evidence to suggest this was an attempted break and enter.
With the assistance of the Windsor Police Canine Unit and service dog Hasko, officers located the male four blocks away on Buckingham Road.
The suspect was placed under arrest without further incident.
Investigation also revealed that the suspect was breaching curfew conditions from a probation order.
Further investigation of the route taken by the suspect revealed the accused had forcibly entered, ransacked, and destroyed the interior of a parked vehicle.
A 26-year-old man from Windsor is charged with break and enter, mischief, theft, possession of stolen property and breach of probation.
