DAILY CRIME REPORT
Feb. 27 – Feb. 28, 2014
Today’s Good News
Seven minutes. That was all it took earlier this week for First Precinct officers to respond,
investigate and find a man who tried to break into a home on North 29th
Street. Thanks to an observant citizen who called in a tip, Officers Michael Ahnstrom, Sarah Campbell
and Detective Brian Taylor were able to respond quickly and search the
area. Nearby Detectives Harry
Fitzpatrick and Tori Wilson also responded to the call, spotted the suspect
a few streets away and detained him without incident. After further
investigation, they charged him with burglary and possession of burglary tools.
They’re also investigating to see if he’s connected to other burglaries in same
neighborhood. Good work officers!
DISCLAIMER: The following incidents are preliminary in nature and are
