He's the second in command for all of Eastern Division - but that didn't insulate Edward Broaster from falling victim to crime. Yesterday afternoon his home was burglarized - but tonight the news is that the suspected perpetrator has already been caught, in less than 24 hours. Now you might say, well, Broaster has the entire police department at his disposal to catch a thief…but he said, he caught this one on his own. He takes the story from the start:..
Sr. Supt. Edward Broaster, Deputy Commander - Eastern Division
"Yesterday at 1:45 I got an alarm on my phone that my house was being burglarize. Quickly I respond to my residence and officers were notified. By the time we got there the burglar had already left the residence. We check the camera and we observe the individual who burglarize the home and we launched an investigation and by 11:40 this morning we captured one Richard Codd with the stolen items from my residence and he is now facing charges of burglary."

"So in under 24 hours you were able to catch the perpetrator?"
Sr. Supt. Edward Broaster
"Yes."
Jules Vasquez
"Are you sure it's him?"
Sr. Supt. Edward Broaster
"100% guaranteed sure. We recovered the stolen items from his mother. Its things like this we want to emphasize to the public that we should not be tolerating crime. The slogan that we have for our operation "not in my city" well I want to embrace as well - not in my house."
Jules Vasquez
"How were you able to use that footage to find out who it is?"
Sr. Supt. Edward Broaster
"I did several interviews, the features were not known to me personally and I made several inquiries from yesterday up until this morning when we got a fix the individual and went to visit his residence and he willingly turn over the items that was stolen from my residence."
All but one of the four stolen items have been recovered.
Codd had just recently been released from jail, and is expected to appear in court on Monday.
