Missing Dementia Patient Found in Landscaping Bed in Marlboro by Police K-9

MARLBORO, NJ – A missing person suffering from dementia was located by police K9 Bolo last week and safely brought to the hospital for treatment.

According to the Marlboro Police Department, last week, officers were alerted to a subject with dementia who had walked away from his residence.

“Our Dispatch received the call approximately 20 minutes after the subject had gone missing. Immediately, Patrol Officers began to search the area while Ptlm. Abrahamson and his K9 partner Bolo were called to the scene,” police said. “A track was conducted which led our officers to the subject’s location. He was found unresponsive, lying in a landscaping bed. Patrol Officers then treated the subject until first aid arrived and transported the patient to the hospital.”

It was another successful tracking for Bolo, the department said.
