This is the dramatic moment a suspected thief was pinned to the ground by a police dog after attempting to flee officers.

Members of the force arrived to the residential street in Coventry after receiving reports of three men getting out of a van wearing gloves and carrying crowbars late at night on September 4. 

The suspects were handcuffed and in the process of being searched when one of them ran away from officers.

Bodycam footage shows the suspect, who was wearing an Adidas tracksuit, run along the street as Sergeant John Simpson and six-year-old German shepherd, PD Gunner, chase after him.
