Drug gang watchdog surrenders during police raid

This is the hilarious moment when a drug gang's watchdog refuses to do his job and protect his owners and instead lays down during a raid.

Police arrested the three men at a ranch in Hortolandia, Sao Paulo state, Brazil, on July 28.

Officers seized 1,176 bricks containing 1.1 tons of marijuana from the property.

Police video of the raid shows the three suspects lying face down on the ground with their hands cuffed behind their backs.

But instead of protecting its owners, the gang's huge Rottweiler decided to surrender too and plopped down next to the three suspects.

According to narcotics police, the drugs had been shipped to Hortolandia's house from Campo Grande, in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul.

But the police were watching the property and swept away when the delivery arrived.

Police believe the drugs were intended for sale in and around Campinas, Sao Paulo state.

The men - one of whom owns the house - were taken to narcotics headquarters in nearby Americana.

The dog remained on the property with the female owner of the land around the house, which police say is not involved in drug trafficking.
