Burglar leaves his dog at crime scene
Police say an absent-minded criminal accidentally left his pet pooch behind at a bungled burglary.Officers in Gateshead had been called out to an infant school where a local resident had heard banging, when they found the Jack Russell terrier.
The dog - named Bobby by the bobbies - was inside the school and police think it's owner fled when the school's alarm was triggered.
They no hope the dog could help them collar the criminal and are asking anyone who recognises him, and could name his owner, to contact them.
Once that happens they will pay him a visit and take him for walkies down to the station.
Inspector Peter Storey said: "We are hoping that somebody might recognise the dog and help us to identify its owner.
"The animal was found at the school and so may have belonged to the thief. Although there is no name on his collar the officers who found him have called him Bobby."
