A STRAY dog from Limpopo – one of the Port Elizabeth poliice K9 unit's newest members – was put to the test yesterday after graduating top of her class in a specialist fire investigation course.
Warrant Officer Riaan Victor and his canine partner, Irish terrier Velle – who both completed the fire detection course with flying colours last month – were hard at work yesterday at Newton Park's Cash Crusaders, which was gutted by an early-morning blaze. The cause is still being investigated.
Victor and Velle are the only police members in the city to have graduated from the gruelling six-month Accelerant Detection Dog course.
