May 24 -- May 25, 2012


Today’s Good News

First Precinct Focus Mission Team Tactical Officers John Rotondi, Thomas Gilbert and Harry Fitzpatrick were on routine patrol earlier this month when they noticed three men pushing a Supercan down the alley. Though the trio tried to act casual, the officers knew something was up. They stopped the group and discovered numerous stolen items inside the Supercan. Detectives George Mihalcoe and David Cuffley responded and, after talking with the men, identified the burglarized homes and linked the group to 27 burglaries! From Jan. 1 to May 8, there were 51 burglaries in those areas. Since these arrests, there has been one. Good job!
