Today’s Good News

Sometimes it’s that extra follow through and solid teamwork that solves the case! That’s exactly what happened earlier this month when Second Precinct Officer Farrhard El-Amin responded to investigate a burglary on Stockton Street. After speaking with the victim and canvassing neighbors to see if they had seen anything suspicious near the residence, Officer El-Amin received a tip about a possible suspect and his location. He quickly responded and detained the man for questioning.

When asked about the crime, the man gave Officer El-Amin conflicting stories so Officer El-Amin transported him to the precinct for further investigation. With the assistance of Detective Mark Hatchett, who relayed information that further implicated the suspect, Officer El-Amin was able to charge the man with burglary and grand larceny. Good work Officer El-Amin and Detective Hatchett!
