Today’s Good News
Thanks to great community assistance and fast-responding officers, Second Precinct officers recently made a solid arrest of a man who tried to rob a business on Broad Rock Boulevard. It was the middle of the afternoon when the would-be robber tried to rob an auto store at gunpoint, but when he tried to get away, he didn’t get very far thanks to a police officer parked on one side of the business and a train going by on the other. With the assistance of witnesses yelling out the man’s location as he ran, Officers Charles Taylor, Andrew Wasiuk and Jerry Carter quickly arrested him. After Detective Patrick Brady interviewed the man, he charged him with attempted robbery, use of a firearm and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Good work everyone!
