Today’s Good News
Thanks to the quick response and good observation skills of First and Fourth Precinct officers and detectives, two men were recently identified and arrested within hours of carjacking a woman on Bainbridge Street. First Precinct Officer Joseph MacKnight interviewed the victim and broadcast the suspects’ descriptions while Fourth Precinct Acting Sergeant Robert Jamison spotted the vehicle a short time later at 3rd and East Canal streets. Though the driver refused to stop and officers lost sight of the vehicle, a citizen called minutes later to report a suspicious male in that same area.
Fourth Precinct Detective Keary Lightfoot quickly located and detained the man. With the assistance of First Precinct Detective John Grazioso, the man was interviewed and charged and the second offender was also identified and warrants obtained for his arrest. Additionally, Fourth Precinct Officer Justin Land recovered the vehicle with minor damage on North 10th Street. Good work everyone!
