Today’s Good News
Fourth Precinct Detective John Walker was recently patrolling downtown when he heard a noise on North 2nd Street and went to investigate. As he pulled around the corner, he noticed a vehicle with a broken window and spotted a possible suspect quickly walking away from the area. When he stopped the suspect, he noticed the man had shards of broken glass on his clothing and when he searched him, he found several items that he would soon discover were stolen. Further investigation revealed the suspect had broken into at least five vehicles that night and was connected to other crimes along Chamberlayne Avenue. He was subsequently arrested and charged. Good work Detective Walker!
