Police dog Loki grabbing burglars: attempt to escape fails in Ostheim!

In the night of July 3, 2025, there was a suspected break-in in Cologne-Osteim, which could be quickly stopped thanks to an attentive resident and the courageous use of the Loki police dog. At 3:15 a.m., a neighbor heard suspicious noises at the kiosk on Hermann-Hesse-Weg and immediately alerted the police. The rapid reactions of the emergency services were crucial to grab the 34-year-old suspicious man.

When the team around dog handler and service dog Loki arrived a few minutes after the alarm, the burglar tried to flee his bike. Despite multiple requests from the police, the 34-year-old ignored the calls and continued his attempted escape. At that moment Loki came into play. The agile service dog put the suspect and bite him both in the leg and in one arm, which ultimately led to the man fell from the bike.

While the police dog prevented the 34-year-old from fleeing further, another strip team was able to fix the arrested and take into custody. The suspect only suffered minor injuries that led to outpatient treatment.
