Gomer & Goober Part II

From news releases:

On Saturday, July 28, 2007, at approximately 2:50 A.M., Master Police Officer Maurice Williams and Master Police Officer Art Sylmar were dispatched to the 200 block of Locust Street, SE in response to a resident's call reporting a larceny in progress. Witnesses residing in that neighborhood were enjoying a late night on the patio of their home. They observed two men pushing a cart containing a gas grill. At such an early hour the witnesses became suspicious of the activity and noted a detailed description of the two men. Their suspicions became confirmed when the two men returned moments later pushing another grill. The witnesses notified police and continued to observe the two men as they attempted to make good on the theft. Realizing they had been observed the two men began to flee. The witnesses were able to provide arriving officers with a detailed description of the two men and a location where they were last seen. The officers searched the area and located the two suspects and three stolen grills in the area of 216 Locust Street, SE. Further investigation revealed the gas grills were stolen from the Stalcup Hardware which is a business located at 229 Maple Avenue SE. The thieves were in the process of stealing the grills from the rear of that business when they were observed by the residents. Due largely to the observant actions of the neighbors and a prompt police response arrests were made. Arrested as a result of this investigation were Kenneth Clements, a black male, 46 years of age, residing in the 2200 block of Columbia Pike Arlington Virginia and Michael Presley, a white male, 48 years of age, residing in the 10700 block of Norman Avenue Fairfax City, Virginia. Each of the two men were charged with one count of Grand Larceny and held at the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center on $2,500 bond.
