A POLICE dog has been praised after a drugs bust in Northwich.

PD Buddy, a black Labrador, sniffed out a ‘large quantity’ of class A drugs at a house on Pavillion Way in Lostock Gralam on Thursday, March 14.

Police arrested a 21-year-old man on suspicion of possession with intent to supply class A drugs.

A 33-year-old woman was also taken into custody for being concerned in the supply of class A drugs.  

Buddy’s handlers at Cheshire and North Wales Police Dogs said on social media: “On Thursday, Buddy searched an address in Northwich and located a large quantity of class A drugs.

”For him and crew mate, PD Torro, it was a productive set of shifts."

Buddy was called a 'clever boy' by one of his online followers, while another said: "He's a dude."
