Dog-gone police puzzle
PA Hastings Hastings police struck a hairy problem early yesterday — how to arrest a bunsnatching dog. The German shepherd dog was spotted during a predawn stake-out by the police at the Mayfair Snack Bar, in Hastings, after the owners discovered that buns
delivered at night were going missing. Senior-Sergeant Ken Tipping said a policeman hiding near the shop saw the dog about 3.10 a.m. go behind the building and return with a box of buns in its mouth.
The dog went off down the road and the officer decided it would be unwise to give chase.
