A popular police dog will soon be granted a deserved retirement after another successful shift.
'Ziggi Tigger' helped PC Robinson on Saturday (September 21) night after a teenage boy, 16, tried to evade them.
He was chased along William Foster Lane and into Burnell Avenue after a call from Welling Station.
The suspect was arrested after Tigger intercepted him and an "old police truncheon" was then found in a nearby garden.
Welling Police reported that it could be one of the dog last jobs before his retirement next week.
A statement read: "The male was chased into properties on Burnell Avenue and found by a police dog 'Ziggi' Tigger (who has come to PC Robinson’s aid before) In the rear of a property on Burnell Avenue.
"A subsequent search of the local gardens found a rucksack he was seen to be carrying containing a old police truncheon.
"This is likely one of PD Tigger last jobs as he retired from service next week."
