Brazen daylight robbery in Chapel Hill

My son was one of the two men who were robbed mentioned in this article. Please, be careful and be alert.

CHAPEL HILL - Two armed robberies early Sunday evening have police urging the public to stay alert, even when they feel safe.

Police think the same man robbed two men in a downtown alley about 6:30 p.m. and then robbed a woman at an ATM near University Mall 11 minutes later.

"We're particularly concerned because this is in daylight hours in areas that are pretty well populated," Chapel Hill Police Capt. Bob Overton said. "This is really brazen."

Overton said a man approached two men in an alley that connects the public parking lot at Columbia and Rosemary streets with Franklin Street near the Varsity Theatre. They told police the man asked to use their cell phone, then pulled out a sawed-off shotgun and demanded their cash.

WRAL and elsewhere are reporting that Raleigh and Chapel Hill police have charged a man in connection with similar robberies on Tuesday. While they have not yet charged him with the robbery of your son, I expect that they will.

this always happens when ReThugs invade a country.. after Panama Cocaine shipped from there to here went up 600%

is just nowhere near as safe as it used to be sadly.
