Today’s Good News
With the help of some watchful eyes in the community, Third Precinct Officers Michael Kiniry and Glendon Cox were able to stop a burglar right in his tracks. These helpful citizens informed the officers they had seen a suspicious man hop out of a vehicle and approach the back door of a city church. The suspect then attempted to pry open the door, triggering the church’s alarm. Startled by the noise, the would-be burglar ran to his vehicle and drove away from the scene. But thanks to the officers’ speedy response and impressive investigative work, they were able to catch and arrest the suspect just 33 minutes after the incident occurred! The suspect was charged with breaking into the church and possession of burglary tools. Good teamwork everyone!
