Great job LPD!
Thank you to LPD. You guys do a very dangerous job and we thank you for doing it so well!
yea yea keep it up LPD !!!! Show em.
I wish TLS could change the picture that they use every time they post a story about an arrest. That picture is the story of about 3 weeks ago when they arrested this individual on 12th Street (outside my house practically) – it’s that scarf or whatever that he’s wearing that’s making me very nervous. Thanks TLC for the great work that you do. I hope you dont mind changing the picture.
Lpd gr8 job! Keep up the good work! We appreciate your and your families dedication on this dangerous job.
for all you do to make lakewood safe
great job. I would like to see stats on arrests vs robberies? this would create TRUE transparency
Great job lpd love working with u
Is there a photo of the suspect or is he a minor?
He is only a suspect until he has a fair trial. Please don’t call him a thief until he is convicted in court!
wow! I am looking forward to getting my phone back. Thanks LPD.
303 for SGT!
Residents……Please lock your car doors. Very, very, very simple thing to do to avoid a burglary to your vehicle. LOCK your doors.
they did my car as well , made a mess of it and wasted a morning dealing with report filing.
stupid kid get a life get a job
you have got to be kidding me!!!!
My car was locked, so he just broke the window! Now it’s in the body shop being repaired.
Thank you to whoever called it in.
He did not break any windows to get into vehicles. He was just taking advantage of unlocked cars.
This guy has been doing this for a long time. #13 he knows how to unlock cars. This is his profession and he will be back on the street in no time. God bless America. This guy works overtime in the rain.
#18: My car window was broken overnight. Maybe it was his partner in crime.
