A 30-year-old suspected burglar was arrested at a business in Kariega on Saturday morning after the newly trained dog, Razor sniffed him out inside the premises.

Police spokesperson, Captain Gerda Swart says K9 members responded to a complaint of a burglary in progress in Durban Street.

She says members gained entry into the premises with the assistance of the keyholder, and Razor was released inside.

He immediately sniffed out a suspect that was hiding inside a part of the roof.

The 30-year-old man was arrested on the scene and is being detained on charges including attempted housebreaking and theft, malicious damage to property and possession of suspected stolen property.

He is due to appear in court on Monday.
