Today’s Good News
Several First Precinct officers recently responded to Mechanicsville Turnpike to investigate an attempted robbery, and though the would-be thieves thought they’d gotten away, the officers tracked them down in a nearby neighborhood. Officers Shawn McNeil, Erika Berube, Eric Allen, Brian Wilson, Reynaldo Perez, Keith Mansfield and Sergeant Jayson Walter were involved in the incident, interviewed the victim and spotted the three offenders during their search of the area. With the assistance of Detective David Cuffley, the trio was arrested, interviewed and charged with several crimes. Good teamwork all!
