Today’s Good News
A man recently wrote to commend First Precinct Officer Andre Lester for his capture and arrest of a copper thief on North 20th Street. “The thief is probably the person who stole all my plumbing a month ago, but this time he was trying to steal electrical wire. Thank you to this observant officer! Unlike the thief, I appreciate your service! The officer also told us about the city program to deter copper theft. I’m extremely happy that an arrest was made.”
