Today’s Good News
Fourth Precinct
officers
recently made a quick arrest of a burglar on Seminary Avenue, but to be fair,
the suspect did stand out. The victims arrived home that morning to hear
someone inside their house and called police. They also heard a thump they
believed to be the suspect jumping out of a second-floor window. Officers Robert Capocelli and Raymond
Misegades, Sgt. Leonard Broadnax and Detectives Patrick Mansfield, John Walker
and Todd Perseghin all responded to investigate. The detectives spoke with
the victims and broadcast the suspect’s description, which included a
noticeable limp due to his abrupt escape. He didn’t get far.
Officer
Capocelli spotted the man, who had changed his shirt, limping in a nearby
alley. With the assistance of the other detectives and K-9 Officer Wes Moore and K-9 Diesel, numerous stolen items were
recovered in the area and the suspect confessed to the burglary. Good work
officers and detectives!
