Head
constable Erimalai [played by Vivek] would bungle consistently – in one
instance, he is tipped off about a crime – ‘smuggling lorry’. Accompanied by his aides, he would lay wait on
a highway, when the mentioned lorry driven by a Sikh would come. Erimalai would stop the lorry, search it –
finding it to be empty, would as a bribe ask the driver to fuel his two-wheeler
and would place it on the truck. When
the Higher official calls, that it was ‘wrong tip-off’ and he found nothing ...
! – it was the lorry which was being hijacked !!! – the driver would call to
say that ‘he got a moped free for the stolen lorry’....
Miles away in
Northumberland in UK, MailOnline reports
that burglars broke into landscaper's yard - and made off with some
property. CCTV footage shows two men
open the gate and the owner Des Carr is offering a £500 reward for the safe
return of his property !! Des Carr, 44,
used the two German shepherd dogs called
Major and Sky to protect equipment at the business AR Whitley Landscapes in
Holystone, Northumberland. CCTV shows the two men break into the yard - Grainy CCTV captured the moment of the theft
but police have so far been unable to identify the thieves.
The German Shepherd,
popularly Alsatian in local parlance, is a breed of large-sized working dog
that originated in Germany. The German
Shepherd is a relatively new breed of dog, with their origin dating to 1899. As
part of the Herding Group, German Shepherds are working dogs developed
originally for herding sheep. Since that time, however, because of their
strength, intelligence, trainability and obedience, German Shepherds around the
world are often the preferred breed for many types of work, including assistance,
search-and-rescue, police and military roles, and even acting.
That way, a
property guarded by German Shepherd dogs is construed to be well guarded – not
sure whether Insurers would offer any discount for such a good risk ! – the
dogs were well cared for – it is reported that Mr Carr provided food and water
to them and left alongwith colleagues around
5.50pm. Three and a half hours
later, the burglary occurred. Rather than breaking in, two men made their
way in by unlocking the padlock on the main gate at 9.20pm. Since it was dark, only their tall
silhouettes were captured on CCtv. The
men were able to unlock the gates at the entrance and coolly walk away.
As it was a Bank
Holiday weekend, it was not until 8.40am on Tuesday that the robbery was
observed.Police were called and a
statement was taken later that day, but there have been no further developments
since.If
you are wondering what the fuss is about – as burglaries do occur – the
property burgled here is nothing but the ‘guard dogs’. Major and Sky, the two dogs were stolen by
the intruders. The 14-month-old Sky was six weeks pregnant when she was stolen
and the average gestation period for a German Shepherd is nine weeks. Northumbria
Police are appealing for anyone with any information to call them.
Elsewhere in USA, a
police officer investigating a report of
a possible burglary went to the wrong home and fatally shot a German shepherd
dog that lunged at him and bit him on the boot.
Fox said police received the call at 3:45 p.m., reporting the possible
break-in at 621 Lawlins Road. Patrolman Kyle Ferreira responded and mistakenly
went to 622 Lawlins Road, Fox said. Ferreira
received no answer when he knocked on the front door of the wrong house; so he went to the rear of the house and let
himself into the back yard through an unlocked fence gate. When he got to the
rear of the house, the patrolman saw an open window and believed he had found a
possible point of entry for a burglar.
Ferreira drew his
revolver and approached the window, believing he might encounter a burglar, but
“a large, growling German shepherd lunged out the open window, bit the officer
on his right foot and latched onto his boot,” The chief said the officer fired his gun four
times to get the dog to release his foot, and two of the bullets hit the dog.
The borough’s animal control officer took the dog to a veterinarian for
treatment, Fox said, but the dog did not survive. The cop was not injured in the attack.
