Dec. 4 – Dec. 5, 2013

Today’s Good News
Time was definitely not on the side of a burglar who recently stole several watches during two mid-morning burglaries on Woodhaven Drive. Second Precinct Officer Jeff Urban was the first officer on scene and he quickly broadcast the suspect’s description based on witness reports. Detective Jorge Thondique spotted a man nearby who he knew had a history of committing burglaries and matched the suspect description. Officers Jean Therency and Jeremy Nierman safely took the man into custody and after further investigation, the man was identified by the witness and detectives charged him with burglary and grand larceny. Good work officers!
