Today’s Good News

In a recent 12-hour span, the hardworking First Precinct Focus Mission Team of Det. Adrian Partain and Officers Harry Fitzpatrick, Thomas Gilbert, Stuart Hannah, John Hill and John Rotondi were able to link three armed robberies as well as find and arrest the robber and recover some of the stolen property. Thanks to their hard work, a dangerous criminal is off the streets and the robber is now being investigated for crimes in the Third Precinct area as well as in Henrico County. Good job!
