Today’s Good News
Sometimes all officers have to do is follow the fresh footprints in the snow to catch a criminal. That was partly the case this past Sunday evening when Second Precinct Officer Michael Eldridge responded to investigate a robbery on Cargreen Road. After Officer Eldridge spoke with the victim and witnesses, he recalled seeing a man matching the robber’s description near a house on his way to the scene. He advised Officers Mark Levy and Danielle Warren who went to the home and searched the residence. Though they didn’t find the suspect, Officer Levy noticed footprints in the snow leading from the back door to underneath the house. He followed the prints and arrested the suspect after finding him huddled in a corner. With the assistance of Detective Derrick Longoria, the male was interviewed and charged with robbery. Good work all!
