    The Police watchdog's found an officer was justified in commanding his dog to restrain two young people during an arrest

    The Police watchdog's found an officer was justified in commanding his dog to restrain two young people during an arrest


    In February 2021 a Police dog handler arrested three people he alleged were attempting to steal a car in New Plymouth.

    Police say two were bitten - after the officer released his dog.

    The Independent Police Conduct Authority says one young person required hospital treatment.

    But it says it was a necessary and proportionate response in the circumstances, and the arrests were legally justified.
