0:48Now PlayingWild body camera footage shows a Washington state sheriff’s deputy barking and bellowing like an angry police dog to scare a pair of juvenile car thieves out of hiding.
“Does this Count as a K-9 Capture?” the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department asked lightheartedly while sharing footage of the bust late last month in suburban Tacoma.
The footage shows officers initially trying to use spike sticks to stop a white sedan that had just been reported stolen from a cemetery, only for the occupants to abandon it nearby and flee.
The search quickly focused on a wooded creekbed, with one of the officers spotting them, saying: “They’re down here! They’re down here!”
“Don’t make us release our K-9!” another officer then shouts — immediately howling in imitation of an imaginary angry dog on the hunt.
When the suspects started to move, he repeatedly made the same dog sounds — until the juveniles surrendered.
“The best thing about this whole thing is that the kids actually believed there was a dog,” Pierce County Sgt. Darren Moss said with a smile in a video commentary along with the clip.
“And in the end, they told the deputies, ‘Man, as soon as I heard that dog, I gave up.’
“So, awesome job and A+ for creativity in figuring out a way to get these to comply. Way to go.”
