On September 14, 2015, at 8:37 pm, officers from the Northeast Patrol Division responded to a call for police regarding a burglary in progress at the Big Daddy Car Company located at 11700 Garland Road. The alarm company notified the owner that the business was being burglarized. The business had cameras inside that features a live feed. The owner was able to give a play-by-play account to the 911 operator of the suspect’s activities, which included, being armed and attempting to gain access to the safe.

Officers Christopher Jameson, #9649 and Justin Novak, #10545, were at the scene in under 20 seconds. The suspects became aware of the officers’ presence and attempted to flee. Before support units arrived, one suspect escaped from the rear of the business and was immediately apprehended. Officer Jameson was able to broadcast a description of the second suspect who fled out the front door. Officers provided a quick response, displayed a great team effort, and as a result with additional assistance of citizens, located the second suspect.
