Daylight bandit caught today on Marjorie Court

[Robert Lauterbach]

Today was unlike any other day. I was digging out the giant tree roots from the driveway, and I took a break. I heard very loud sounds, and finally got up to see a fellow at the back door of my neighbor's house on Marjorie Court. I went to talk to him, and he was at the front window looking in . He had a gift of gab, so I did not call 911. But two other neighbors did. I followed him down Sanford, and 4 police cars arrived to get him, and me. I told the RPD who I was and off I went. It took 45 minutes in the back of a cruiser for the police to write down my deposition. So my little break turned into over an hour. But the daylight bandit was captured trying to break into 3-houses on Marjorie Court. The 200 lbs of roots are also at the curb. I really want to thank the RPD for their FAST response. The officer I talked to came all the way from Joseph Ave, and another came from Exchange St.
