Police Dog Tracks Down Wanted Man At Redhead

BY IAN CROUCH

 A 22-year-old man on the run from police has been arrested while hiding in bush at Redhead last night after being tracked down by a police dog .

Police were called to Alison Street just before 11 o'clock to reports of a suspicious Black Holden Commodore utility.

The driver took off when officers arrived and dumped the car before running into the bush.

It took more than half an hour for the police dog to find him, leaving him with a bite mark on his ankle in the process.

He's due to face Belmont Local Court today charged with breach of bail and driving while disqualified.
