A police dog tracked down an alleged burglar in Noble Park.
Greater Dandenong CIU Detective Sergeant Craig West said the man entered a Leonard Avenue unit via an open front door about 10pm on Saturday 17 March.
He allegedly stole car keys, a phone and a wallet.
The occupant disturbed the man and chased him from the unit, Det Sgt West said.
The Victoria Police Canine Unit attended and located the alleged burglar in Leonard Street a short time later.
Police charged a 26-year-old Noble Park man.
