Good news
 
I awoke this morning to read that the police had captured two men who have been breaking into people's homes (during the day) and robbing them. They got surveillance footage from a camera on my neighbor's house and found the getaway car. They put a tracking device on it and caught them in the act. These guys would break in and if anyone was home they would threaten them with knifes and guns. My neighbor was locked in her closet. Luckily she had her cell phone with her.Scary dudes. They think they had robbed over 10 homes. They are Columbian nationals with gang ties. Sending the loot to Houston and them shipping to Columbia.

wow.

Oh my goodness. So brazen!!!!

Glad that they are captured.

I am glad they were caught. Hopefully, your mind is at better ease now that they're off the streets. :hug:

Good- I hate people who steal and intimidate....good for the police bringing them to justice....hopefully they'll get good long sentences for their crimes, especially seen as they involve violence and threats with deadly weapons.

Are they from Columbia, South Carolina? Or British Columbia?

Or do you mean ColOmbia, the country?

I stand corrected.

These guys were not too bright. They parked their very obvious looking car in front of the house they broke into. I actually remember seeing this thing...gold car with those huge rims. Looked like a pimp car and totally out of place in my neighborhood. DUH!

This is very scary! I can't even imagine how violated I would feel if someone came into my home. Someone broke into my car and I felt really uncomfortable knowing someone had been in there. You are so right, criminals aren't usually the brightest crayon in the box.

I'm glad the crooks are off the streets!!!
