Various shots of the dog sniffing around some boxes. The dog jumps on a pile of blankets and gets very excited when he discovers a man hiding beneath them.

M/S of a man apparently stealing something from a pile of boxes. Two policemen rush in with dogs on leads and the dogs jump up at the man, knocking him down on the ground.
