Citizens, police work together

To the editor:

Regarding the recent arrest of a suspect for particularly heinous crimes against a senior citizen in Cape Girardeau: Congratulations to the citizen or citizens who chose to be an active part of the community, to stand up to crime and make Cape Girardeau a better place. Your action allowed the police department to make an arrest that places all of us at ease. Senior citizens in particular fear being targeted for crimes of any sort, but all of us fear physical violence.

Thank you to the men and women of the Cape Girardeau Police Department for your actions. Senior citizens can breathe easier now that this case has been solved.
