Today’s Good News

Thanks to a concerned citizen’s tip and some quick thinking by officers, two arrests may have put a serious dent in a recent rash of car break-ins in the Bellevue neighborhood. When Fourth Precinct Officers Nicholas Stirrett, Willie O’Neil and Naitraj David received a call about two men breaking into vehicles on Brook Road this week, they coordinated their approach to surprise and arrest the offenders as they sat inside a vehicle stealing items.

After the arrest, the officers backtracked the caller’s detailed description of where the suspects had been and located additional victims and Officer Stirrett also followed up with the detectives to help identify other related incidents. The Department would like to commend these officers, thank the observant citizen and remind everyone to lock their vehicles and never leave anything valuable inside!
