A POLICE sniffer dog helped track down a wanted man in Southampton. 

A domestic violence suspect was detained by Hampshire Response Cops when he fled from officers into woodland. 

But PD Wilson, along with its handler, "sniffed him out". 

On Twitter, Hampshire and Thames Valley Police Dog Section shared: "In Southampton, a domestic violence suspect made off from officers into woodland. 

"PD Wilson came to help and sniffed him out; he was detained by Hampshire Response Cops as he tried to flee from Wilson through their cordon.

"Great work by all." 

The Echo has contacted Hampshire Constabulary for more information.
