GRWM for a trip to Sephora! Our featured beauty influencers had quite the routine: * Pick out the essentials. * Grab a few extras. * Keep grabbing extras. * Walk right past the part where you pay. Bold strategy. They may have left Sephora with a fresh haul, but they also left us with some lovely surveillance footage. Now for the one product we’re missing... name tags. If you recognize either of these two, help us complete the look and contact Surprise Police at 623-222-4000 or or 623.222.TIPS (8477) reference incident #261090033. Because while concealer can cover a lot of things…it doesn’t cover your identity from a security camera. #SurprisePD #GRWM #SurpriseAZ

Meet the man, the myth, the manicure... Edward Scooterhands. Our two-wheeled troublemaker burglarized a vehicle, then scooted on over to an ATM to try out a stolen bank card. Between the scooter, the fingernails and the getaway speed of a determined mall walker, there’s a lot to unpack here. We’ve called him Scooter McGavin. We’ve called him Loot Scootin Larry. We’ve called him the Cuticle Criminal. Now we’d just like to call him by his real name. Recognize him? Give Surprise Police a call at 623-222-4000, case #260600489. And Edward… if you’re watching, please don’t point at the screen. We’re worried about scratches. #SurprisePD #EdwardScooterhands #CuticleBandit #ScooterMcGavin #NailedIt

Surprise Police Arrest Man Following International Extradition in Sexual Assault Investigation Surprise, AZ (September 8, 2026) The Surprise Police Department has arrested Michael Munufie following an investigation into allegations that he repeatedly sexually assaulted a juvenile family member over a period of several months. Very early into the investigation, Munufie fled the United States, initially traveling to Canada before ultimately traveling to the United Kingdom. Surprise Police detectives referred the case to the United States Marshals Service (USMS) for assistance in locating, apprehending, and returning Munufie to the United States. Working in coordination with law enforcement authorities in the United Kingdom, the USMS assisted in locating Munufie, who was detained by United Kingdom authorities while the legal process for his return to the United States was completed. On August 28, 2026, Munufie was returned to the United States in the custody of the USMS. Surprise Police detectives took custody of Munufie at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport and transported him directly to the Intake, Transfer and Release Jail for booking. “Our detectives demonstrated tremendous diligence and determination throughout this investigation, never losing sight of their responsibility to seek justice for the victim,” said Surprise Police Chief Evan Becher. “Cases like this also demonstrate how important our partnerships with agencies such as the United States Marshals Service are. Their commitment and ability to work with international law enforcement partners were instrumental in bringing Munufie back to Arizona to face these charges. We are extremely grateful to the US Marshals and everyone who assisted in making his return possible.” “Michael Munufie is accused of committing horrific crimes against a juvenile family member and then fleeing across international borders to avoid facing justice,” said U.S. Marshal Van Bayless. “This case demonstrates that leaving the United States does not end our pursuit. Through the persistence of our investigators and cooperation with our domestic and international partners, Munufie was located, apprehended, extradited, and returned to Arizona to face the charges against him. We hope his return provides the victim and her family with an important step toward justice and healing.” Munufie was booked on the following charges: 3 counts ARS 13-1405(A) – Sexual misconduct with a minor (class 2 felony) 3 counts ARS 13-1404(A) – Sexual abuse (class 5 felony) He is being held on a $150,000 bond. The Surprise Police Department would also like to recognize law enforcement authorities in the United Kingdom for their assistance and cooperation throughout this process. This remains an active criminal case. To protect the privacy of the juvenile victim and the integrity of the judicial process, no additional information regarding the victim will be released.

The Surprise Police Department has concluded a formal Professional Standards Unit investigation into an anomaly found during a routine audit of its Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) system, fully clearing the involved police officer of any system misuse. Consistent with established department protocols, a police officer was placed on administrative leave two weeks ago while this formal review was conducted. The completed investigation confirms that the officer’s use of the system was appropriate and was conducted for legitimate public safety purposes. The officer has been fully cleared and will return to full duty status this week.
