Today’s Good News
Three burglars may have thought they’d gotten away with their crimes since they fled the scene before officers arrived, but that was not the case! When Fourth Precinct Officers Tanekia Owens-Turner, Prabhat McDonnough-Contreras and Todd Evans quickly responded to a home on Myrtle Avenue for a burglary, they took detailed witness statements that later helped them identify, find and arrest the three suspects. These three burglars were also suspects in a wave of burglaries in the Highland Park neighborhood that will no doubt decrease now that these arrests have been made. Good work officers!
