Police at Strand Road question a man after stolen items recovered in Derry street
A MAN was arrested yesterday after a police officer spotted him acting a bit too cool on a Derry street which eventually led to the recovery of items stolen during a burglary in Donegal.
The officer posted details of the arrest on the PSNI’s Foyle Facebook page under the heading ‘Note To Criminals: Your are not the Fonz:
“I say this because yesterday I was walking back from Court 
⚖️ (after another adjournment 
🙄) to the Ballyarnett Neighbourhood Team 
👮🏻office when I spotted a fella who went OTT trying to ‘play it cool’.
“The Fonz he was not.
“His ‘playing it cool’ actually consisted of a total look of panic upon seeing me, a quick change in direction and multiple nervous glances over his shoulder.
“He might as well have been wearing a black and white outfit, a black eye mask and a bag saying ‘SWAG’ over his shoulder.
“I obviously followed ‘Fonzy’ and he immediately sprinted off 
“Some Bin Men pointed to where he ran so I set off in hot pursuit and caught him at Police Court Street (cool name).
“He had tried to ditch his jacket and an actual bag of swag 
😂 but a lovely lady showed me the car he threw the stuff under 
👍🏼.
“The bag contained stuff stolen from a commercial burglary over the border last night.
“Needless to say he was #Arrested and taken to #HotelStrandRoad.
“Think the #Gardai definitely owe us one for this.”
