Criminal Sunday

Three very different incidents that demonstrate the same point… No activity is completely safe…

10 TV:
A woman was shot to death while she called 911 for help from the porch of her north side apartment Sunday afternoon. Neighbors heard the gunshots, but didn't see the shooter. Police found the victim face down in front of her apartment on Belcher Drive. Police said the victim called 911 a first time to report a disturbance. The woman called again and the dispatcher heard gunshots. The victim was taken to the hospital where she died. Her name has not been released.

10 TV: Police said thieves used a blowtorch to gain entry into an armored car office and got away with packages of rolled coins. The robbery took place late Saturday night or early Sunday morning at the Brinks office at 1362 Essex Ave. on the north side… Authorities believe it took several hours for the thieves to remove the coins. Police and the FBI are investigating the robbery.

10 TV: Police said a fight Saturday night at Easton Town Center started after a group of teenagers were upset that a movie was sold out. Easton mall security and officers on horseback and in cruisers responded to the mall at Easton at about 9:30 p.m… Police regained control of the crowd and directed the teenagers to the other side of Morse Crossing and away from the movie theater. That is where parents were able to pick up their children.
