There’s cops blocking both ends of my street. Apparently, there’s a robbery suspect running around the neighborhood. I’ve never seen so many cops here before. Whoa.
I got this email from a neighbor: “As I write this the cops are staked out on [street name redacted] and surrounding streets looking for the suspect in a strong-arm robbery. Believed to be BM with white pants. If you see anything call 911.”
Update from said neighbor (1:28 pm): “Hi All–The cops apprehended a suspect about an hour ago and left. I have no further information at this time.”
Update 2 (3:19 pm): “I just got the skinny on our “event” earlier today. It was a strong-arm robbery (force was used) and was apparently a purse snatching. A couple of teens are the suspects. One of them was hiding out behind a shed in a [street name redacted] back yard and was caught when OPD brought in the dogs.”
