I can't believe this is happening just a mile away! - SBB Digital Scrapbooking Forums | Scrapbook-Bytes

About noon today, I heard a lot of sirens but I live on the main road in town so didn't pay much attention. Now mind you, I had my door wide open and I was home alone. My girlfriends stopped by and wanted to know if I knew what was going on. She wanted to make sure I locked my door. You see one of our local banks (I live in a very small town) had been robbed at gunpoint. The bank that was robbed was not even a quarter of a mile from my dd's house. I immediately called her to get my grandson ins the house because he rides his bike on the road just behind the bank. I know this happens too often in bigger areas but this has really scared me. We had an armed robbery just about 8 miles from me last week. I don't like locking my doors during the day but I guess I better get use to until at least they track down who is doing this. Let's put it this way there are so many police officers in town right now that there just might be more police than residents.

We had another armed robbery last night. At least this time it was about 10 miles away. They don't know if these robberies are connected yet but it is rather odd that we have had 2 in 2 days. I sure hope they catch these people soon.

Scary!

We had a rash of armed bank stick ups last summer - all summer, several very different descriptions of the robber, so it wasn't just one whackop out there robbing banks... very scary.

No, they haven't caught them yet. The police don't believe they are related. Also, my son told me last night, that one of the bars that is only two blocks away got broken into and robbed two nights ago. At least they were closed. I sure hope they catch them soon.
