If you look at the picture that is posted on the 1330 WAKG web site it clearly shows a man in a black muscle type shirt need to check that description, This town seams to have become easy pickins and the crooks know it
Events like this make me leary of young people wearing oversized white t-shirts and (most of the time) baggy pants, esp. if there is more than one of them. Do young people dress this much alike so that it would be harder to identify them when crimes are committed?
What an idiot. But there is a jail cell waiting for him.
