Today’s Good News

Thanks to an observant citizen, Second Precinct officers were recently able to make a good arrest of two men who were “scrapping,” also known as stealing metal. The issue is one of the biggest problems in the city when it comes to property crimes because the thieves are selling whatever they can get to local metal recyclers. But thanks to an alert citizen in Davee Gardens who noticed the scrapping in progress and called police, Second Precinct Focus Mission Team Officers Obie Arrington, Richard McTernan, Jason Holt, Michael Spinos and Detective Derrick Longoria were able to quickly respond, arrest the men and recover the stolen metal. Good work everyone!
