Merseyside Police officers called in the hero hound after stopping a suspicious car in Norris Green, Liverpool, in the early hours of Tuesday when the driver tested positive for a drugs wipe.

Despite his claims he had nothing illegal, the 44-year-old was arrested after Obi sniffed out the hidden gloves inside, and they were stuffed with cocaine and cannabis.

Det Insp Neil Dillon said: “Thanks to the proactive work of officers and of course the ability of Police Dog Obi, we have been able to remove suspected Class A and B drugs from our streets and also make an arrest.
