Crime Alert!

Four men were arrested early Monday morning after a very alert individual called APD to report men trying to break into cars on Wycliff. Police responded immediately and set a perimeter around the area. In addition to arresting all four, they recovered the stolen car they were in. APD did a great job! Please remind your neighbors to lock their cars and remove all valuables each night. And if you see something fishy, call 911 immediately.
