Today’s Good News

Thanks to the clever and coordinated efforts of several First Precinct detectives and officers recently, two armed robbers were quickly identified and arrested. After the victim provided the robbers’ license plate number, the officers tracked down the vehicle and identified the robbers and their location to within several multiple apartment buildings.

To safely make the arrests, they arranged for the suspects’ vehicle to be towed. When the robbers came out of the apartment to see why their vehicle was being towed, the officers arrested them without incident. Good work Sgt. Jayson Walter and Officers Steve Moore, Michael Stinger, Kevin Hyde, Michael Bryson and Focus Mission Team Det. Kevin Hughes and Officers Kenneth Custer, Harry Fitzpatrick, Thomas Gilbert and John Hill!
