K-9 Assists in Catching a Robbery Suspect Los Angeles: A Los Angeles Police K-9 helped capture a robbery suspect who hid from police by hiding under a parked vehicle. On April 14, 2009 at about 11:30 PM, Newton Area officers set up a perimeter on the 140 block of 53rd Street, and requested the help of a K-9 to look for a robbery suspect.
