This is how its done!
NO excuses about how you didn't see it happen so you can't do anything about
it. No excuses that you haven't had a contract in TEN years. No excuses that you
weren't driving a Tahoe instead of an Impala. No excuses about it being too
close to shift change to investigate. The guy probably wasn't wearing a "don't
snitch t-shirt". Mundy Township Police didn't even have a video of the suspect
committing the crime. Nor did they have a citizen standing there pointing at the
suspect saying "There he is." Mundy Township Police didn't have a witness
drive over to the guys house and point out which house it was. The officer seen
the suspicious vehicle that matched the description and gave chase. See! It's
not rocket science. Mundy Township didn't even need Weed and Seed Money to do
it!

MUNDY TWP. - A coordinated effort between several police agencies and one
officer's alert eye helped lead to the arrest of a man suspected in a
series of area break-ins.
The incident began Monday morning when a Swartz Creek homeowner confronted
a man stealing two acetylene welding tanks from his garage. The suspect
fled in a vehicle with one of the tanks hanging out a passenger door.
Minutes later, a Mundy Township officer spotted a car matching the vehicle
description on westbound Hill Road. A short car chase ended when the
suspect struck a guardrail at Hill and Seymour roads and went into the
creek, then ran away. Several state troopers, a tracking dog and police
from Swartz Creek and Mundy Township were involved in the search.
Police traced the vehicle registration to a Flint Township home, where the
owner first claimed the car had been stolen but later confessed to the
break-in and several other area burglaries.
