FUGITIVES come in all shapes and sizes- and it seems like this little dog was on the run from the long paw of the law. 

The incident was captured yesterday afternoon along Granby Way by Echo photographer Graham Hunt. 

It is unclear whether the riot van was actively trying to capture the dog or if officers saw it running along the road and intervened.

Our attempts to find out whether the mutt received ruff justice have returned no leads so far. 

A spokesman for Dorset Police said they would be making enquiries.
