Today’s Good News

After a man recently robbed two males at gunpoint on West Grace Street and Park Avenue, Third Precinct Officer Andre Guevara quickly responded. He searched the area and spotted the robber nearby on North Sheppard Street. After a short foot pursuit, Officer Guevara caught and arrested the man. Not too shabby for an officer who just graduated from the Police Academy in July. Good job!
