-Press Release, Henderson Police Department
Vehicle breaking and enterings are a trend that law enforcement all over is seeing rise. Over the past few weeks, officers of the Henderson Police Department have deployed covert equipment to curtail the rise in motor vehicle breaking and enterings in our area.
During the first night of deployment, March 9, 2019, we were able to apprehend Kelcey Roswell Thorpe (48), of 844 Park Avenue, after he entered a vehicle in the Roanoke Avenue area. Due to Thorpe’s qualifying history, he was also charged as a Habitual Felon. He received a $40,000 secure bond.
The use of this equipment has allowed us “real-time” notification of an incident, the ability to utilize it in an array of situations and post-event identification through the use of multiple mediums.
Even though we continue our deployment methods, we strongly urge our citizens to lock their vehicles and remove or lock away items that are of interest to thieves.
