A police dog has helped track down a man and a woman suspected of robbing a man inside his home.

At about 10pm on Wednesday, two people are reported to have broken into a property in Military Road, Canterbury, before threatening the resident and demanding money.

The victim, in his late 60s, handed over what cash he had and the suspects, a man and a woman, left the address.

Further money was then withdrawn using the victim’s bank card at two nearby cash machines.

Police officers then carried out a search of the area with police dog Bo, who helped locate two people that matched descriptions of the offenders.

A 42-year-old man and an 51-year-old woman from Canterbury were arrested on suspicion of robbery and have since been released on bail until January 28.

Anyone who witnessed anything suspicious in relation to this incident or has information is asked to call the police on 01843 222289, quoting reference 46/2971/21.
