Today’s Good News
Third Precinct Detective Harry Brown was recently assigned to investigate an
interesting burglary that occurred at a business on the Southside. According to
surveillance video, a group of individuals broke into a store, but didn’t steal
any money. Instead, they took a whole rack of clothing, including several pairs
of blue jeans. Detective Brown studied the video carefully and determined that
the suspects were likely teenagers. A few days later, he was driving through a
neighborhood near the burglary when he spotted a young man wearing clothing
that matched the ones that had been stolen. He identified the man and verified
his address before going back and reviewing the surveillance tape several more
times to confirm it was indeed the same person. After further investigation, he
arrested the first individual, who confessed to the crime, and subsequently
identified and arrested three other people involved, charging them all with
burglary, grand larceny and conspiracy to commit a felony.
This is just one of many
examples of Detective Brown’s great work. Overall last month, he investigated
more than 40 crimes that resulted in the arrest of nine individuals for more
than 42 felony offenses, ranging from commercial to residential burglaries,
grand larceny, forgery and obtaining money under false pretenses. Good work
Detective Brown!
