Dogsey

An "almost deaf" dog who has been a police force's longest-serving canine recruit is set to retire. Jake, a Springer Spaniel, has worked for Warwickshire Police for 10 years - sniffing out drugs, firearms, ammunition and bank notes.

He has made 521 finds including about £4.5m of drugs, an assault rifle and £650,000 cash, the force said.

The 12-year-old dog, who also now serves the West Mercia Police area, will retire next week.

Jake will retire to Leicestershire, living with his handler PC Andy Crouch, who has four other dogs.
