We have one suspect that was in a black puffy jacket who we just took into custody break.

I'm no male, 5-8 to 5-10, thin-billed black cotton hoodie with a hood up and black pants.
00:44
And guardian one, we're trying to resolve a possible spot target here near Fairview Ave.
00:52
In the middle of that building there,
00:56
might be worth taking a look at.
00:59
Possible hotspot near Fairview.
01:04
Get a year to come look at this, there's like a fountain in the middle of this building.
01:09
On the back side of that fountain, there's a hatch that's open,
01:12
and there's something hot on the inside of there.
01:14
It's just a little unusual camp.
01:15
Positively say it's a person or not, but sort of take a look.
01:20

01:22

02:18

02:19
It's definitely not officer in there.
02:23

02:31
There's a hatch that's open, there's a hotspot inside of that hatch.
