  • Neighborhood Resident Helps Bring Down Burglary Ring

    A big neighborhood “thank you” to local neighbor Catherine, who provided police with information critical to bringing down a burglary ring.

    KVUE reports:

    “I saw a strange vehicle, and I knew it didn’t belong in the neighborhood,” said Catherine.
    It was a pickup truck oddly parked on the street.
    “My intuition just told me something is out of order here,” she said.
    The driver told her he was waiting to hear back from a friend.
    “I didn’t verbalize to him that I thought that was a bunch of baloney,” she said.
