Thank you for answering my question, that I had to ask on the other article about the truck theft. I was wondering what had happened.
There was also a chase that had happened on Harris Court and Melissa Circle? Thought maybe the 2 were related? Hopefully they catch everyone involved!
Stay safe out there APD! This one was a little to close to home for us ;( Guess it was just a matter of time…
@LLAB – the incident on Mellissa Ct. was not related. That was a residential burglary in progress. PD did catch that subject. We are waiting for more info before posting a story on that incident.
Thank you so much for the info. I truly appreciate this news site!
