On Saturday afternoon at approximately 4:15pm Officers Edward Rene and Sasha Vicente were on patrol in the downtown area when they observed a male running in the area of the bus terminal carrying a pair of sneakers. A passerby yelled out that the male had just robbed someone.
The officers chased the suspect westerly on Elm St. and took him into custody as he tried to enter his home at 176 Elm St. In his possession was a folding pocketknife and he was still carrying the sneakers.
The officers were then able to locate the victim who is a 21 yr. old New Bedford man.
