Dog Swallows Evidence

An intruder broke into the farmhouse of a California couple, ransacking their kitchen and taking several hundred dollars in cash.

Before the burglar left, he came into the bedroom where the couple was asleep with their dog. He began to rub spices on the dog’s collar and the couple’s feet. Once the couple awoke, he hit them both in the face with a large sausage, before fleeing. Police were called to the farmhouse around 6am, and soon found the intruder lying in a nearby field, still holding the bag of spices and wearing only socks and boxer shorts. All of the stolen money was recovered, but an officer witnessed the dog swallow a piece of evidence, the sausage.

Lieutenant Burrimond claims this is one of the strangest cases he’s seen in years. Not only because of the burglar’s bizarre behaviour, but because the weapon was discarded at the crime scene, and then eaten by a dog.
