Police dog sniffs out man following reports of domestic violence


A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Police said: “Remember, PD Ghost ‘NOSE’ better.”

A police dog successfully sniffed out a suspect following a report of domestic violence in Cambridge. On the evening of Monday, February 23, PD Ghost sniffed out the suspect who had tried to hide in a neighbouring garden.

The suspect, Fred Lamb, 43, of Withers Place, Fordham was arrested at the scene and has since been charged with intentional strangulation and robbery.

Ghost and his handler had turned up to help with the search for the suspect, which initially proved unsuccessful despite a jacket being found.

However, on the way back to the car, Ghost suddenly showed interest in the front garden of a nearby house. A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire Police said: “Any thoughts he could have seen a cat were quickly dispelled with shouts of ‘alright, alright!’”

Lamb appeared at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court yesterday (February 25) and has been remanded in custody to appear at Cambridge Crown Court on March 25.
