Today’s Good News
Thanks to an observant citizen and fast-responding Third Precinct officers, a quick arrest
was made in a weekend burglary that may help detectives solve several other
crimes. Shortly before 2 a.m. on Sunday, a citizen heard a loud noise and
spotted a man breaking into a residence in the Fan. He quickly called police
and Officer Steven Gibson gathered
and broadcast the suspect’s description. A short time later, sharp-eyed Officers Brian Sheridan and William
Campbell spotted a man matching that description on Lakeview Avenue and
detained him for questioning. After further investigation by Detective Jack Larry, the man was
identified by the witness and charged with burglary and grand larceny.
Additional investigations are ongoing. Good work officers and thank you
observant citizen!
