A man was arrested in Southwater when a sharp-nosed police dog sniffed out some stolen bank cards after they were tossed into a bush.

Police say they were alerted by a Southwater resident after a security light was set off on his driveway in Worthing Road at 2.30am on August 10.

A man wearing a balaclava fled the area after he was confronted.

PC Jamie Jackson and Police Dog Phantom were quickly on the scene and stopped the man nearby.

The officer saw him throw some items in a bush, but PD Phantom was on the trail.

PC Jackson said: “On arrival to the area I saw a man walking towards me who matched the description we were looking for.

“When he saw my police vehicle I saw him throw something towards the shrub line at the edge of the pavement.
