Newport News police mourning loss of retired K-9 Bane<\/p>\n
The Newport News Police Department is mourning the loss of retired K-9 Bane, according to a Facebook post. The K-9 unit said Bane succumbed to cancer on May 7. He joined the unit in 2011. Bane was a patrol and narcotics dog and was partnered with MPO B. Keller. The Facebook post said Bane had an “incredible nose” and “led to the seizure of multiple guns and drugs and the arrests of several fleeing fugitives and criminal suspects.” Bane retired June 2017 and enjoyed taking trips and loved everyone he met. Police said Bane’s last afternoon was spent at one of his favorite places, Yorktown Beach, where he enjoyed a picnic of “deliciously fatty foods, played ball and got to be a beach bum.” Seaford Veterinary Medical Center cared for Bane during his retirement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
