The Albuquerque Police Department released helicopter video which shows a team effort used to nab armed robbery suspects on the run.
In December, two men reportedly robbed the M&M Smokeshop near Central and University.
Witnesses said the men fled on a moped with two bongs.
With help from police dispatch, the APD helicopter found the two suspects lying on the ground in a backyard near Broadway and Gibson.
"Air one, he's 20 feet from there, in front of you,” police said. "Watch to see if he's moving at all."
Police sent a dog into the backyard, but the suspects covered themselves with debris.
Initially, the dog was unable to pick up a scent.
"The dog literally went right over him,” police said. “Just give him a second to work it."
Officers moved deeper into the backyard and eventually arrested the suspects.
