Police Service Dog Mack Leads Pursuit, Locates Suspects After Industrial Break-In

By Brantford Police Service - Mar 21, 2026

On Saturday March 21st, 2026, at approximately 12:30 a.m., the Brantford Police Service received information regarding a group of individuals within a fully fenced and locked compound at an industrial property near the intersection of Colborne Street West and Canning Street.

Patrol officers, along with a K9 handler and Police Service Dog (PSD) Mack, attended the location and initiated a search of the property. During the search, officers observed that copper wiring had been stripped from buildings on site.

Officers subsequently located suspects within the compound, who fled on foot. Following a brief foot pursuit, PSD Mack successfully tracked the suspects, who were found hiding beneath a portable trailer office.

During the arrest, a male suspect uttered threats to stab and kill the police service dog. The suspects were found to be in possession of copper wire and break-in instruments.

As a result of the investigation, a 46-year-old Brantford man has been charged with:

  • Break and Enter a Place – Commit Indictable Offence

  • Possession of Break-In Instruments

  • Resist Arrest

  • Uttering Threats

A 48-year-old Brantford woman has been charged with:

  • Break and Enter a Place – Commit Indictable Offence

  • Possession of Break-In Instruments

  • Resist Arrest

  • Theft Under $5,000

Police Service Dogs provide significant value to frontline policing by enhancing officer safety, improving the efficiency of suspect apprehension, and reducing the need for prolonged searches. Their ability to quickly locate suspects and evidence often leads to safer, faster resolutions in dynamic and potentially high-risk situations. To maintain peak performance, Brantford Police handlers and their K9 partners re-certify annually and train weekly alongside teams from the Waterloo Region Police Service K9 Unit and the Guelph Police Service K9 Unit.

Anyone with information related to this incident are asked to contact the Brantford Police Service: 519-756-7050. Additionally, information can also be provided anonymously to Brant - Brantford Crime Stoppers by calling 519-750-8477 or 1-800-222-8477 or by submitting a web tip online at: https://www.crimestoppersbb.com/submit-a-tip/
