However, as police video shows, after the car came to a stop, a man jumped out of the passenger side and took off running.
As a result, police called in a K9 unit and in the video you can see how, by following the dog’s trained snout they find a suspect hiding inside a home’s shed in what appears to be the bottom of a shelf.
