Early in the afternoon of Oct. 19, 52nd Precinct Officer John Kennedy, driving in his patrol car, saw a suspicious looking man walking out of an apartment on Aqueduct Avenue holding a suitcase.
When the man saw Kennedy, he bolted. Kennedy pursued the man and three blocks later tracked him down and arrested him.
The man, Marcus Nunez, 25, of the Soundview section of the Bronx, confessed to burglarizing the Aqueduct Avenue apartment and police linked him to 15 other burglaries in the borough.
One cop at the 52nd Precinct called Nunez, "A bad guy, a real bad guy.”

Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts.
