Two arrested after B&E on 20th Street

Thanks to the speedy response of several First Precinct Officers recently and the good nose of K-9 Arek, two men were quickly arrested after they broke into a home on [the 1500 block of] North 20th Street. The first officers on scene–Officers Joachin Okonkwo, James Spader, Kevin Hyde, Jermaine Powell, Stephen Butler, Sgt. Marvin Marsh and Lt. Dan Minton—secured the scene and set up a perimeter until additional units arrived to search the house. Focus Mission Team Sgt. Raymond Fitts and Officers Thomas Gilbert, John Rotondi and Brian Parker with K-9 Officer James Turner and K-9 Arek then entered the residence and took both men safely into custody. Both men were then interviewed and charged with burglary.
