Alert neighbor helps officers nab residential B&E suspects

On November 11, 2010, North Tryon Division officers responded to the 1700 block of Purser Drive after a neighbor called 911 stating they observed three suspicious people casing an unoccupied home. The suspicious trio took off before officers arrived.

Once officers got on the scene, they observed the rear door and window of the home had been broken. An alert neighbor observed the suspects leave the scene and told officers their whereabouts. CMPD Officers located the suspects in the 800 block of Eastway Drive. The neighbor positively identified the suspects. Stolen property from the home was also recovered from the suspects.

Tyshaun Doral Lee and Nadan Toure were both arrested and charged with Breaking and Entering and Larceny.

This case illustrates the importance of community involvement.

These arrests would not have been possible without the assistance of an engaged neighbor who got involved!!!
