Not your typical accomplice!
A Detroit area man was being patted down by cops on suspicion of theft when they found a gray-furred puppy with bright blue eyes zipped up in his pocket.
“I don’t think anybody at this department’s seen anything like it,” Roseville Police Chief Mitch Berlin told the Detroit Free Press .
The little pup, named Frappy, has since been returned to his partner-in-crime and police are unsure if Askin had the dog with him on the Jan. 16 heist.

Brian Askin, 24, is accused of stealing from a businessman who was doing a bank transaction at Comerica Bank, fleeing the scene with the stolen bag that contained $5,200.
He was found hours later with the dog in Detroit, “stunning” officers, Berlin said.
“I think the puppy got to the station before the suspect did, from what I heard,” Berlin said.
