Today’s Good News

Thanks to the speedy response of Third Precinct Officer Brian Shows and his knowledge of his sector, a man suspected of several robberies and car break-ins was recently captured. Officer Shows was dispatched one evening to an in-progress vandalism on Monument Avenue after a victim spotted a man tampering with his vehicle. Though the suspect fled the scene on bicycle, Officer Shows circulated the area until he spotted someone matching the description. Further investigation determined the man detained was the offender and he was charged accordingly. Additionally, detectives are continuing their investigation into the suspect’s likely involvement in other related crimes. Good work Officer Shows!
