Today’s Good News
So how quick is First Precinct Master Patrol Officer Andre Lester? He’s so speedy that when he recently responded to a burglary call on Selden Street, he caught the man walking out of the home with a stolen TV in hand! The man immediately dropped the TV and ran back into the home, and Officer Lester gave chase, until he safely arrested him with the assistance of Officer Michael Morris. Thanks to the officers’ quick response, this burglar was caught in the act, charged accordingly and the victim’s property returned. Good work!
