Friday morning Little Rock police requested the assistance of Cammack Village police Chief Powell and his K9 partner Tango. Little Rock officers in unmarked vehicles had been patrolling the Echo Valley neighborhood, when they recieved a call about a possible trailer theft in progress.

Chief Powell and Little Rock officers were able to stop the suspect vehicle on I-430 at the River bridge and take the suspect into custody without incident.

A search of this vehicle, with K9 Tango resulted in officers locating methamphetamine and various drug paraphenalia.

Sweet! Maybe they will recover my hubby's trailer. It was stolen right off our long driveway right after Thanksgiving. They had to be watching the house. I was only gone for about 2 hrs. The cops said they thought there was a ring. LOSERS!

Good. Maybe they will be able to retrieve my hubby's trailer that was stolen out of our driveway back in late Nov. The police told us they thought it was part of trailer theft ring. They had to have been watching the house to get ours. I was only gone about an hour. LOSERS!

We live in N. Pulaski County behind the airbase and also had our 18' tandem trailer stolen around Thanksgiving. The thieves backed up into the yard and drove away with it. I was home and thought my husband was hooking it up to take it somewhere, but that was not the case. I hope they hang the thieves!
