Today’s Good News
Thanks to an observant citizen and
fast-responding officers, a man who broke into a business on Forest Hill Avenue
this past weekend was quickly arrested. Just before 1 a.m., a woman saw a man
dressed in all black crouch down near a business before breaking the glass door
to enter. After the suspect’s description was broadcast, Aviation Unit Officers Shaun McCarthy of Henrico Police and Doug Houston of Chesterfield Police
spotted the suspect walking nearby and Richmond
Police Captain Gary Ladin and Third
Precinct Officer Louis Burrell safely took him into custody without
incident. After further investigation and being interviewed by Detective Greg Sullivan, the man confessed
and was charged with grand larceny and burglary. Good work officers, and thank
you observant citizen!
