    So,the description of the stolen items is out there. Say something if you see so m ethinh. Say something if you are offered for sale or otherwise any item that fits the description.
    Keep in mind that being in possession of stolen goods is also a crime.

    All we are getting from Police are excuses, No real action to combat crimes... Why dont they have2 to 3 patrol vehicles at nights patrolling all over, all the recent criminal activities demanda more from the Police, Not excuses, Get some x cops back, let them use their vehicles to patrol and assist the police, have them be responsible for certain areas . We cant have too much security...

    Is them same boys who Cory does be harbouring around his business is who turned around and robbed him. From the last time I passed cross there I saw he have a pit bull and security cameras. I blame him for that, because if he had hire grown and responsible people instead of harbouring all of them lil teenager boys, then he wouldn't have gotten robbed. Them boys took the bikes and ATV, sprayed them over and riding them up and down the streets like nothing. Hopefully he will have the serial numbers just incase the police happened to pick them up or the perpetrators decided to try and license them.

    The ATV’s is used to transport DRUGS TO THE ROUGH ROAD AREAS THAT A POLICE VEHICLE OR REGULAR VEHICLES CANNOT ACESS. THE POLICE DEPARTMENT NEED TO INVEST IN A HELICOPTER TO HELP FIGHT CRIME. YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING ON THE GROUND FROM UP IN THE AIR.
