Benson Hill residents should be encouraged by this email we just received from Mayor Law. This was some really great police work!

Dear Council Members,
Renton Police Officer Eric Gordon did some great police work for our new
residents in the Benson Hill/Cascade neighborhood. He responded to a residential
burglary yesterday where thousands of dollars in jewelry and other items were
taken. Several hours later, he made a routine traffic stop on a van and noticed
items that were described in the earlier burglary. The victim of the burglary
was able to positively identify the merchandise, resulting in the arrest of two
suspects. And a follow-up interview by Sgt. Todd Frazier helped to recover more
stolen items that had been taken from a neighboring home.
Another huge benefit for our new residents who are now receiving quality police
service!
Hope you have a nice weekend.
Denis
Yay! Renton Police!
Renton police do go the extra mile!
One retrieved some stolen property for me – for talking to people in Seattle, we have it *REALLY* good here.
I had $300 worth of tools stolen – not only did the officer get the items back from the pawn shop (I had to wait because they were evidence), he caught and jailed the guy that stole them. The prosecutor got a plea for 30 days of jail.
In Seattle – you’d be luck to have an officer talk to you!
