(NBC) - Deputies in Pasco County, Fla., tracked down one of three men accused of targeting parents dropping off their kids at daycare.

Two suspects were arrested immediately, but body camera footage shows one of the suspects tracked to a nearby pond by a K9.

Officers said the suspect and two other men stole a purse from an unlocked car at a daycare center.

A few minutes later witnesses saw them rob the back of a van and take off running from their car.

The video shows the suspect didn't get far and he didn't go back willingly.

All three men are facing charges of drugs possession, hit and run and probation violations.
