TWO Detective Constables have received District Commander\u2019s Commendations for their response to an aggravated burglary in Doncaster<\/p>\n
DC Joanna Vine and DC Alexandra Owen were presented with their commendations by Chief Superintendent Morley last\u202fmonth.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The officers responded to a reported aggravated burglary in Chantry Close, where an unknown man had broken into an elderly couple\u2019s home and assaulted one of the occupants.<\/p>\n
Valuable items were taken during the burglary, but the detectives\u2019 actions \u2013 including the use of the \u2018Track my iPhone\u2019 app \u2013 led them to a property where a suspect was identified. He ran from them, but was eventually detained and found to be in possession of stolen property from the burglary.<\/p>\n
The citation read: \u201cYou are both a credit to Doncaster and South Yorkshire Police. \u202fIn identifying this offender and eventually detaining him, you displayed a great deal of professionalism, determination, courage and investigative skill. You should be proud of your actions and as a result, the communities of Doncaster are a little safer.\u201d<\/p>\n
