Today’s Good News

While working at an off duty assignment this past weekend, First Precinct Lt. John Beazley received information from Officer Daniel Burgess that a man had been stealing money from the parking honor boxes. As Lt. Beazley prepared to go home for the night, he spotted the suspect near an honor box on Dock Street and began walking toward him. The man then rode away quickly on his bike, but Lt. Beazley followed and caught him at another honor box with his hand inside. As the man tried to flee, Lt. Beazley caught him, and with the assistance of Acting Lt. Victor Green, the suspect was arrested, found with chunks of currency and charged with larceny and possession of burglary tools. Good work!
