A Chihuahua mix that weighs just over 1kg helped police catch a criminal in California, US.
Tink's Christmas Day adventure began when four suspects who were trying to get away from police crashed a stolen van. After the crash, one of the suspects ran away on foot.
Tink found him hiding under a neighbor's motor home and chased him into the woods, said Wendy Anderson. The dog belongs to her son.

The Bank of Japan (BoJ) announced a seismic change in direction on March 19, hiking interest rates for the first time in 17 years. The move represents an unwinding of an ultra-loose — and maverick -- policy aimed at putting Japan’s “lost decades” of stagnation and deflation behind it.
