Now this is good news. In fact, whenever we see dogs in establishments or airports for example, we feel secure knowing that in case there are drugs, bombs, or guns these dogs will be able to sniff, thus preventing any crime or unfortunate events from happening. Indeed, sniff dogs are of great help for all of us. And they have just proven it once more by detecting drugs during a traffic stop.
Just like this good news, this drug addiction blog also aims to prevent drugs- prevent it from getting into the lives of people and make them addicted to it. More and more people are getting addicted to the different types of drugs each day. This is why there’s a need for more drug addiction treatment centers so people can always seek professional help.
A police dog helped officers in Chicago recover more than 1,500 pounds of narcotics with an estimated street value in excess of $10 million.
The dog smelled the drugs during a traffic stop, and Chicago Police Department officers discovered the stash quickly thereafter, according to a post on the department’s Facebook page.
The pickup truck that contained the contraband was stopped around 7 p.m. on June 21 in the 14200 block of Menard Avenue, in south suburban Midlothian, according to ABC Chicago station WLS-TV.
