Details have emerged of the moment an off-duty dog handler, along with this trusty four-legged companion, came across a group of four males who
A spokesperson for the Met Police Task Force confirmed:
“PC Churchley was on his way home when he came across four males who were carrying out a ram-raid to steal an ATM in Tring.
“PC Churchley called police before deploying PD Luca.
“Following his action, they fled leaving behind the ATM & stolen transit van they were going to use to transport it.
“The males carried crowbars and wore balaclavas.
“PC Churchley was aggressively threatened but managed to disrupt the male despite being outnumbered and unarmed.
“Without PC Churchley’s actions, it is likely the males would have succeeded and left behind far less evidence”.

Before you go...
WE NEED YOUR HELP.Here at Emergency Services News, we aim to tell you stories that the mainstream media are not interested in reporting. Whilst the MSM love to berate and ridicule the emergency services, who is there to report on the realities of serving on the front line?
Emergency Services News is currently a loss-making entity. But our team of volunteers, all former emergency services personnel, do not do it for the money.
We do it because we are sick and tired of the mainstream media constantly trying to undermine the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep you and your family safe.
How many MSM journalists who speak ill of the emergency services have actually dared to don the uniform and risk their own lives to save the life of a complete stranger? If you would like to help back our mission of reporting on fact-based news, then please consider helping to support us financially.
You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Well Done, PC Churchley………and PD Luka !
Well done. I hope they are caught and punished.
