The Richmond Police Department’s monthly report for Sector 412, which covers much of Northside, has been released for September. Highlights include:
One 18-year old and two juveniles made a mistake when they decided to steal a car when Police Administrative Executive Director Evelyn McGill happened to be the Edgewood Community. She was able to keep the vehicle under surveillance and call the location information and direction of travel in to responding officers by cell phone. Officer Tanikia Owens-Turner and other officers were able to coordinate as a team to arrest the three.
Two alert citizens became suspicious when they saw an individual in a vehicle they knew did not belong to him on Lanvale Avenue. They called police and kept an eye on the suspected thief. Although the suspect tried to evade them, they were able to direct responding officers to both the culprit and the items he had taken from the nearby car. The suspect was arrested without further incident.
Officer Kaneka McQueen of Day Shift went the extra mile, interviewing a suspicious individual in the 3000 block of North Avenue. Her thoroughness resulted in the arrest of a suspect for possession of cocaine.
Officers conducted 311 field interviews with suspicious individuals during the month of September 2008. They made 121 arrests, issued 234 traffic summons and handled 2,366 calls for service in Sector 412.
At the end of September 2008, in Sector 412, motor vehicle thefts were down 32% for the year. Residential burglaries were up from 5 in September 2007 to 7 in 2008 for an increase of 40%. Thefts from motor vehicles were UP 65%.
