Officer Smith is out patrolling his beat on foot (foot patrol). He notices 2 young men matching the description of 2 suspects th
at earlier in the day committed a home invasion. During the home invasion, a Rolex watch was taken, as was an expensive leather jacket and some electronics. As Officer Smith approaches the suspects, he notices one of them wearing a costly looking leather coat. Additionally, as he began questioning them he observed the other male subject wearing what looked to be an expensive gold watch.
Answer: How did Smith know what the suspects look like? Did someone see the two suspects go into the owner's house? If so who seen them? did they report it to the police? If so at what time, and what time is it now? Did the suspects leave any clues? like if it was raining there would be foot prints. Unless if they took off there shoes and had no socks on you can still tell who it is. people's toes have prints on them just like your fingers. If the suspects did not leave evidence Smith should look closely at their clothing to make sure they do not have a weapon on them. Then he should confront them and ask questions. He should tell them "there was a robbery today" then ask them if they know anything about it. If they say no tell them everything that was stolen tell them if they tell you can cross them off of the people who the police suspect. It may be a bluff but they do not know that. When they tell you where they got it wright it down and tell them thank you for your coroporation.Go to the stores they said they got it from. You may need a warrant if their story does not match up go find the suspect confront them and ask why they lied. and so on
