Today’s Good News
Thanks to the speedy response of several Fourth Precinct officers recently, a moped thief was quickly arrested. Officer Ruddy Zhao responded to 1st and Charity streets Sunday to investigate a report of man assaulting and stealing another man’s moped. He quickly broadcast the suspect’s description and Sgt. Michael Phibbs and Officer Clarence Key spotted the man nearby and detained him for further investigation. With the assistance of Detective James Higgins, the man was interviewed, confessed and charged accordingly. Good teamwork officers!
