Police dog Stella assists in two Stroud arrests

PD Stella, a rescued Staffie, joined the force on an entry and search and she located hidden drugs and cash.

Two were then arrested for possession with intent to supply.

Gloucestershire Police took to social media to thank Stella for her work, tweeting: “Another great find by PD Stella tonight.”

Stella tweeted back: “Mum is very proud of me tonight."

Mum is very proud of me tonight I helped with a search and located hidden Drugs and money. Quest & I have had a busy week. We are late home but worth it. I love my job. Mum has promised us both lots of treats on our 4 days off 🐾🐾 #StaffieSaturday 🐾🐾 https://t.co/Sg4nCIOsTq

She also named-dropped a fellow canine colleague, PD Quest, a three year old German Shepherd.

“Quest and I have had a busy week. We are late home but worth it. I love my job.

“Mum has promised us both lots of treats on our 4 days off.”

Stella and Quest were recently snapped sporting special cooling vests that help them stay fresh in the heat.
