No shortage of weapons here. It’s a pretty big river.
The Lexus bandit?
Another one in Pleasant Hill?
There was another incident, we believe a strong-arm robbery, in the Starbridge area early this morning. We believe police may have recovered some of the items stolen in that incident.
No description of the perp?
