While trying on my Clark Kent style roving reporter suit, my eye spotted a curious canine-related story.
It seems that the trainers of the twenty-one sniffer dogs, belonging to the Gwent constabulary, are running out of smelly places to train their dogs in.
The dogs currently learn in empty buildings, where it is relatively easy for the dogs to sniff out foreign objects amongst the twenty or so other scents.
The canine force, comprising of a dozen GSD dogs, and nine Spaniels and Labradors, are training to sniff out, amongst other things, cash, firearms, and explosives. (Oh, for a dog that could sniff out cash!)
The handlers are looking for buildings where a lot of people have been spreading their odours around. Places such as factories and schools, which would also have the benefit of some pretty smart and intense dogs adding a bit of extra security to the place. Obviously, the police want it when everyone has gone home, and at regular and convenient times.
