By Richard WintonLos Angeles TimesLOS ANGELES — He is relatively new on the job at the Los Angeles Police Department, but Bosco, a 2-year-old Dutch shepherd, has a nose for trouble. The narcotics detection canine sniffed out the secret held inside a soda vending machine at a downtown L.A. repair garage — it contained a large stash of heroin, fentanyl and an assault rifle, police said. "There was a lot more than Coke in that soda machine," said LAPD Capt. Bosco, with six months of experience on the job, entered the garage and keyed in on the soda machine. ___©2023 Los Angeles Times.
