Nov. 12 – Nov. 13, 2013

Today’s Good News
Just call it good old fashioned police work! Second Precinct Officer Brian Rogers was on patrol in the 5300 block of Hull Street in the early morning hours recently when he observed what appeared to be an attempted burglary at a restaurant. He quickly notified the Division of Emergency Communications and advised units to set up a perimeter. Shortly thereafter the two suspects took off running when Officer Rogers and Officer Nathaniel Harris spotted them. After a short foot pursuit, they were both taken into custody without further incident. The juveniles were transported to the precinct and interviewed. During the interview, one of the suspects admitted to a previous burglary, and both juveniles were charged with attempted burglary. Good work officers!
