Today’s Good News
There may have been a hurricane passing near the area at the time, but that didn’t stop Richmond Police! Third Precinct Officer Ben Frazer recently approached a residence on Argyle Terrace to investigate a possible burglary and as he did so, he spotted five men inside. They ran from him, but he anticipated their efforts to escape out of the back of the home. He circled around and the group ran back toward the front door. With the assistance of Sgt. Anthony Papaleo, Officers Shawn Nunnally and Luke Geiger and K-9 Officer James Turner, the officers were able to set up a perimeter and safely arrest the group. Detective Charles Kane interviewed the burglars who admitted their crimes and were charged appropriately. Good work everyone!
