Two suspects are facing charges after a stolen vehicle from Toronto was found in Georgetown — and a Halton police dog named Nero tracked them down.
The incident took place on Dec. 11 just before midnight.
That’s when a Halton police officer was proactively patrolling in a cruiser equipped with an automatic licence plate reader.
The officer was alerted to a 2004 Honda Accord driving on Guelph St. with an expired validation sticker.
