Gunmen Robbed Restaurant Right Beside Police Station
posted (January 4, 2016)
Ladyville Police are reporting that on New Years Day armed robbers barged into a Chinese Restaurant right across the street from their station, and held up the owners.

That's some kind of "ganas" to commit a crime right within walking distance of a large number of police officers, but that's what happened.

The Commander of the Eastern Division Rural Police told the press that they are looking into this aggravated burglary:

Sr. Supt. Edward Broaster - OC, Eastern Division Rural
"1st January, we had a report of a aggravated burglary which occurred a block away from the police station at Amy's Restaurant. This report was made by a business woman of Poinsettia Street where two individuals accosted her and her husband in the said restaurant and rob them of $7,000 worth of cash and other items. We have a prime suspect that we are looking for and this may have been a individual who had worked for them in the past."

As noted in the interview, police say that they have a person of interest who they are looking for.
