Today’s Good News
Note to criminals: If you’re going to steal a moped, you may not want to ride it in the neighborhood where you stole it. Then again, we appreciate the assistance. That was the case recently when Second Precinct Officer Matthew Segal responded to investigate a stolen moped from a supermarket on the Southside. When Officer Segal looked at the surveillance footage, he saw two juveniles stealing the moped and, later that evening, received a call from the moped owner who said he had seen two young men riding his moped nearby. Officer Segal used his police training to observe the suspects while patrolling in an unmarked vehicle. With the assistance of Officers James Hogan, Crystal Nuckols, Tanner Braaten and Jonathan Myers, Officer Segal attempted to stop the moped, but the driver dropped the moped and the pair ran away. Officers Myers and Segal gave chase and arrested the two suspects quickly. Both juveniles confessed and the moped was returned to its rightful owner. Good work all!
