Alert citizen helps police catch burglar red-handed

From Lake Forest Park Chief Sutton

Wednesday morning, an alert citizen (who happened to attend one of our community forums on crime) observed a suspicious person and vehicle in his neighborhood.

He contacted the police and gave a good description of the vehicle (Thanks Ken!!)

Capt. Armbrust joined the officers to check on the vehicle and found the suspicious vehicle and person. Moments later, another person came out of a driveway a few houses down and Officer Walker stopped him.

Turns out, he had just broken into a home and had stolen items in his possession.

Great job by the LFP citizen, Captain Armbrust, and Officer Walker!

Again, please call 911 when you see anything suspicious in the neighborhood!
