The Holden Police Department has asked the community for help in identifying two suspects involved in a theft at a local Walgreens, according to their social media account. We have designated the event on Shrewsbury Street this morning as a serious larceny offense. To move the case forward, the Holden Police Detectives Bureau has issued a request for any information that could lead to the identification and arrest of those responsible.
Members of the public are invited to contact the detective bureau at 508-210-5613, as stated in the Holden Police Department’s Facebook post. The request for help includes the assurance that tipsters can stay anonymous, potentially soothing fears about privacy or repercussions for helping with the case.
The social media outreach reflects a growing tendency among law enforcement organizations to use digital channels to engage the community in criminal investigations. The Holden Police Department has not provided any facts about the larceny or the things stolen during the incident.
By encouraging residents to join in the investigation, the Holden Police Department not only broadens their search for prospective clues but also fosters a collaborative relationship with them. For those who prefer not to contact, the department has established an electronic communication option; however, the specifics of this alternate method were not included in the public notice.
As the Holden Police Department continues their investigation, they emphasize their appreciation for any information supplied by the public, as it could prove critical in resolving this case of “significant larceny.”
