A police dog has tracked down a teenager accused of attempting to steal tools and equipment from a Lake Macquarie construction site.
Police say two people were spotted at the building site on Main Road at Fennell Bay at about 12.30am on Tuesday.
Officers arrived a short time later and the pair fled.
A police dog apprehended a 17-year-old male who police say refused a direction to stop.
He's being treated for bite wounds and is expected to be charged over the alleged break-in.
The second person managed to evade capture.
