Cheshire, UK – When a man from the UK fled from the police, he left one of his dogs behind, but soon after, his loyal pet spoiled his escape!

A statement from Cheshire Police on the bizarre incident was only published recently, but it actually went down back in February.

At that time, 41‑year‑old Charles Foy was caught riding an e‑scooter illegally through the streets of Britain's Runcoon, with his two dogs running alongside him.

When the officers detected a strong smell of cannabis coming from Foy's direction, they tried to stop him – but he fled.

"During his escape attempt, one of the dogs running alongside the scooter, a Labrador, fell behind – unable to keep up with the high speeds of the e-scooter," the police said.

However, the abandoned canine knew the way home perfectly and led the officers straight to it.

A video showed an officer asking the Labrador, "Has he been a bad boy and left you?"

At first, the house looked empty, but then the second dog that had been out with Foy appeared at a ground‑floor window.

After the officers finally gained access to the house, they found the 41‑year‑old hidden in the attic.

The fugitive claimed he had slept in the cramped attic and that he hadn't been riding the e‑scooter at all that evening.

Foy was eventually arrested and, shortly thereafter, sentenced to three months in prison.

This was partly because, despite a driving ban, he had hit the road, used an uninsured vehicle, and refused to submit to a drug test.

He was also barred from operating any vehicle for four years and three months.
