WICHITA -Law enforcement authorities in southern Kansas are investigating a case involving a stolen handgun.

Just after 10 a.m. on Monday, K-9 Ruby and Kansas Game Warden/K-9 Handler Chris Stout were contacted by a police and asked to assist with the search for the handgun that had been burglarized from a residence on Sunday night, according to a social media report.

Ruby and Stout arrived on the scene at 2:45p.m.

Ruby started her search and five minutes later had located the stolen handgun and holster in chest high reeds.

“She is an amazing animal,” said KDWP&T Captain Larry Hastings. “That was very deep grass.”
