Today’s Good News

Fourth Precinct Officer Nicholas Castrinos recently responded to North Lombardy Street for a report of a moped theft. He spoke with the victim, gathered information and then began to circulate the area looking for the thief. They spotted a man with the moped and arrested him, but they received information that led them to search for a second suspect. With the assistance of Detective Patrick Mansfield and VCU Police Officer John Pelosky, they spotted and arrested the second person involved. Good teamwork!
