CLAREMONT – Council Member and former Police Commissioner Ed Reece announced the April 24th arrest of three burglary suspects in southeast Claremont. A “Burglary-in-Progress” call on April 24th lead Claremont Police Department Officers to the 500 block of Converse Avenue.
Officers located and detained three suspects in the nearby area. It was confirmed that one residential burglary had occurred. A nearby, second burglary attempt had also taken place.
