Today’s Good News
Sometimes it takes in-depth investigation to identify the offender in a crime. But other times, not so much. Third Precinct Officer Brian Sheridan discovered this recently when he responded to investigate a car break-in on South Harrison Street and caught the offender still sitting in the vehicle with a backpack full of stolen items. With the assistance of Officer Thomas Davis and Detectives Patrick Ripley and Mary Paulette, the man was searched, interviewed and charged with grand larceny, possession of burglary tools and tampering with a motor vehicle. Numerous items from at least two car break-ins were also recovered. Good work officers and thank you to the observant citizen who called police!
