A K-9 sprang into action to help city police nab two burglars who were caught in the act at 310 Corporate Place.
Officers noticed a hole in the south side of the building.
They then spotted a large pile of copper just outside the building.
The burglars exited the hole, then ran back in when they spotted police.
The K-9 unit was then brought in to help. After an extensive search, Mickey and Andrew Morgan were taken into custody.
Mickey Morgan was found hidden on an office roof.
Andrew Morgan was corralled after he had been bitten by the K-9. He was treated on the scene by a medic, then was taken to Memorial Hospital for further care for the dog bite.
Owner Mike Higdon said the pile of copper was worth $15,000 to $20,000.
He said there was $500 in damage to the building.
At the jail, Mickey Morgan said the burglary had been set up by a former employee of the firm. He said the man was driving a blue 1995 Chevrolet truck, but left just before police arrived.
The Morgans were charged with theft over $10,000 and vandalism.
