Good work RPD! This blog is the only place I’ve heard about the arrest of a suspect in the Jahnke Road robberies. It would help deter crime if the news media would cover arrests as much as crimes. From the police reports, it appears that this was an 18 yr. old who lived a couple of blocks away from the robberies. I think showing names and photos of perps on the news would hopefully shame them somewhat, and more importantly may make others think twice before doing something similar.
