Re: Letters of Appreciation

Recently we have had assistance from four citizens of the City of
Port Coquitlam. I am pleased to enclose copies of the letters we have
sent to them expressing our appreciation.

Mr. Leanard and Mr. Kurkowsky apprehended a wanted person on 26th
February, 1974 at 2444 Wilson Avenue. We were informed of a wanted
person for a number of offences across Canada was living at this address.
When the police members went to his suite, he tried to escape by jumping
off a balcony. He was apprehended while running from the location and
turned over to the police.

Mr. Adams. and Mr. Irwin arrested a male purse snatcher when a lady
friend of theirs complained to them. She had her purse snatched from
her on Shaughnessy Street on 18th March, 1974 at midnight. The men went
to the downtown area and witnesses a man with her purse. They gave
chase and captured the suspect in a alleyway. He was turned over to the
police. Investigation resulted in the suspect admitting this and five
other purse snatching crimes on the streets of Port Coquitlam.

I can only say that with this type of co-operation by citizens of
our community, our task of law enforcement is made more efficient. The
interest and action taken by these citizens is very commendable.
