May 19 – May 20, 2014

Today’s Good News
First Precinct Officers Dan Bondy and Matthew Robinson responded to a burglary alarm at a school on Sunday night and--thanks to officers’ coordinated response--made three arrests within minutes! Officer Robinson was the first to spot three teens inside the school and he quickly broadcast their description and location. Officer Bondy then circled around to the front of the building and saw the teens hiding behind a big bush. He detained one of them while the other two ran away. Detectives Harry Fitzpatrick, Brian Taylor and Officer Stephen Gaines caught the pair a few blocks away. Further investigation revealed the juveniles had broken into the school and stolen granola bars and Kool-Aid jammers. They were subsequently charged and processed accordingly. Good work officers!
