This is the moment a drug gang’s watchdog fell by his owners’ side and handed himself in to police during a bust. Footage shows police arresting the three men yesterday at a ranch in Hortolandia, Sao Paulo state, Brazil. Officers seized 1,176 bricks containing 1.1 tonnes of cannabis from the property. A police video of the raid shows the three suspects lying face down on the floor with their hands tied behind their backs. Clearly their massive Rottweiler decided the gig was up and decided it would be best to comply with the officers. According to the Narcotics Police, the drugs had been sent to the house in Hortolandia from Campo Grande, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. But the police were watching the property and went inside when the delivery arrived.

Police believe the drugs were intended to be sold in and around Campinas, in the state of Sao Paulo. The men – one of whom owns the house – were taken to Narcotics Police headquarters in nearby Americana. The dog remained on the property with the woman who owns the land around the house, who police say is not involved in drug dealing. Officers will return to the ranch today to check on the Rottweiler and two other dogs to see if animal welfare services are needed.
