Today’s Good News
Sometimes our officers get help from unexpected sources. This past
weekend, it was an 80-year-old retiree who got the drop on a burglar that made
the difference. Just before 1 a.m. Saturday, the victim heard a noise
downstairs and when he went to investigate, he spotted a man walking into the
bathroom. The victim quickly grabbed the door knob, shut the door and held it
tightly, preventing the burglar from escaping, while his daughter called
police.
Several Second Precinct officers arrived on
scene within minutes and safely took the man into custody. After being interviewed by Detective Roger Owens, the man
confessed to the crime and was charged with burglary. Good work officers and
we’d like to thank the victim for his assistance in this case!
