Today’s Good News
Second Precinct Officers Ezequiel Canete and Nathaniel Harris recently responded to Chesterfield Street to investigate a burglary in progress just before 10 p.m. As they arrived on scene, they spotted the suspect walking quickly away from the house. They stopped and detained the man and, with the assistance of Detective Pedro Riddle, they found a piece of copper tubing on the man’s person that perfectly matched a missing piece from inside the home. They also noted cobwebs on the man that also appeared to match the large amounts of cobwebs in the home’s crawlspace. They then arrested and charged the man with burglary and possession of burglary tools. Good work officers!
