Yesterday at approximately 5:20 p.m., on Univeristy Avenue area of the skating rink, Norwood Police responded to a road rage incident that resulted in a vehicle overturning and coming to rest on its roof.
With school back in session and our roads busier with students, buses, pedestrians, and families, we cannot stress enough the importance of driving safely, remaining patient, and avoiding aggressive driving. No destination is worth putting yourself or others at risk.
Later, during the overnight hours, we also responded to multiple reports of motor vehicles being broken into. Thanks to an alert resident who called police after observing suspicious individuals checking vehicle door handles in the area, our midnight shift officers were able to quickly locate and arrest three suspects believed to be responsible.
This is a great reminder of some important tips:
• Always lock your vehicles and homes, even if you're only stepping away for a short time.
• Never leave valuables, wallets, purses, electronics, or vehicle keys inside your car.
• If you see something suspicious, say something. Your phone call could be the information officers need to prevent or solve a crime.
We greatly appreciate the continued help and partnership of our community. Working together helps keep Norwood safe.
Have a happy and safe rest of your day!
