Today’s Good News
Third Precinct Detective Patrick Ripley never slows down when it comes to investigations. During the past month, he investigated several crimes that resulted in the identification and arrest of six individuals wanted for several robberies and burglaries. One person was wanted in connection with 12 break-ins and another also had warrants on file for crimes in another jurisdiction. But thanks to Detective Ripley’s diligence, solid investigation and good relationships with neighboring police agencies, all of these criminals have been arrested or identified. And he even found time to volunteer at elementary schools in the Fan area to discuss crime prevention, and at a high school to talk to those interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement. Thank you Detective Ripley!
