A POLICE dog has been praised after finding a weapon discarded by a suspected robber in Redditch.
West Mercia Police Dogs shared a post on X, formerly Twitter, about the good work of PD Alvin.
It follows a street robbery incident earlier this week, where a suspect was arrested after trying to evade officers.
