Vicious pack of thugs this week:

20XX RUSSELL WEDNESDAY 1758 HOURS 08-070114

31 year old male severely beaten and numerous of his items had been taken. Suspects fled and after a foot chase two of five were caught

29TH & JAMES THURSDAY 2000 HOURS 08-071607

27 year old male jumped by four or five males, one with a knife, who beat him and took $15.00 from him.

So much for avoiding problems by locking your doors.

BROADWAY & PENN SATURDAY 0300 HOURS 08-072914

36 year old male in town from NY working at the MOA got lost after dropping off a security guard and stopped to ask four males at the intersection for directions. As he did one male broke out his van’s passenger side window and jumped inside and another reached in and held him down while the first suspect took his laptop.

Why turn in the freebie? It should be a perk of any new home purchase.

35XX COLFAX THURSDAY 1200 HOURS 08-070975

Officers flagged down by a male who’d recently purchased a house and upon cleaning it out found a 22 caliber revolver.
