A MAN who escaped police by jumping through the back window of a house has been found by a dog hiding in a hedge.
Police responded to a disturbance at an address in East Street, Amberley, on Thursday, May 6, where a man was reported to have smashed a number of plates, broken a vacuum cleaner and put holes in a wall.
Officers arrived and arrested a man but, after being allowed to collect his belongings, he escaped out of a rear window and vanished.
To find him, the dog unit was called in.
Police dog Phantom, a two-year-old German Shepherd general purpose dog, tracked away from the property and onto the South Downs.
Moments later the man was found hiding in a hedge.
The 29-year-old was arrested on suspicion of criminal damage and has been released under investigation, pending further enquiries.
