A MAN wanted for offences who was 'hiding out' in Cumbria was caught by the force's police dog.

PD Echo from Cumbria Police Dog Section tracked down a man wanted for offences in the West Midlands who was 'hiding out' in Cumbria.

A police spokesman said: "A man wanted for offences in the West Midlands area decided he’d come and hide out in the county. After some great work by Cumbria Roads Police locating the car and a track from PD Echo, we now have one in the cells awaiting a blue light taxi back to the midlands."
