A man who followed and filmed a police dog "for his own amusement" was arrested after the keen-scented canine found "a large quantity of cannabis" on him.

Sniffer dog Hector had been training with his handler in Canterbury when they were followed by the man.

While the pup was walking down the High Street, the man began filming him and his handler.

However, his fun was quickly cut short after Hector picked up his scent and turned to indicate to him.

His handler quickly stopped the man and searched him, duly finding the drugs on his person.

The Kent Police Tactical Operations unit tweeted: "While Hector was training this male followed behind him and his handler down Canterbury High Street, filming them for his own amusement, only for Hector to turn and indicate on him.

"The subsequent search found a quantity of Cannabis on the male #TooEasy #DrugsDog".

Police have been contacted for more information.
