Police arrested a South Brook Park/Grays Ferry man for allegedly stealing from a Girard Estate establishment.
At 8:52 p.m. March 25, plainclothes police officers were on patrol when they responded to a radio call of a burglary in progress at 22nd and Wolf streets, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said. Upon arrival, they contend they saw a man running from Captivating Styles Hair Salon, 2300 S. 22nd St., with a television wrapped in a salon apron.
The law enforcement agents exited their vehicle and ordered the alleged thief to stop after identifying themselves. The reported criminal set the television on the pavement and complied with their commands, Tolliver said. Patting him down, they recovered additional evidence on his person.
Checking the business, they observed the side window broken and the front door pried open. The proprietor stated nobody had permission to enter the salon or to remove property. Authorities arrested Brian Brooks, of the 1700 block of South 29th Street, and charged the 39-year-old with criminal mischief, burglary, criminal trespassing, theft and possession of an instrument of crime. He awaits an April 9 preliminary hearing.
