Dog’s unique markings help Frisco police solve burglary case
FRISCO, Texas - A burglary suspect is behind bars thanks to two observant officers who noticed unique markings on the man’s four-legged friend.
What we know:
Last month, Frisco police detectives were called to investigate a burglary at La Finca Coffee and Bakery.
They discovered that the suspect had previously burglarized the same business and was accompanied by a dog with distinct spots. They shared that information with other officers in the department.

If you’ve spotted a calm, confident dog padding along beside a group of Buddhist monks — sometimes dressed better than the humans — you’ve likely met Aloka, better known as the Peace Dog.
So, on Jan. 18, when Officer Matthew Bell saw a dog matching that description while on patrol, he took note. He brought the information back to Detective Nathaniel Willows.
Frisco police said Officer Bell and Det. Willows worked together to locate the dog’s owner a few days later and obtained a confession.
What they're saying:
"This case is a great example of how Frisco PD officers go above and beyond every day to keep our community safe. Their dedication and attention to detail make a real difference," the Frisco Police Department said on social media.
What we don't know:
Police did not release the suspect’s name or mugshot. They also haven’t said what charges they face.
It’s not clear what happened to the dog after the owner’s arrest.
