Police Dog Athos assisted his divisional and Roads Policing colleagues in apprehending a 19-year-old man from Swansea suspected of being involved in the supply of drugs last night in the city centre area yesterday.

The man made off on foot as officers approached to detain him near Parc Tawe. Athos and his handler PS Phillips gave chase, and the man gave himself up rather than trying to outrun a German Shepherd.

He was then arrested and taken into custody.
