Police Gun Stolen in Daylight Robbery in Point
Earlier today, there was a robbery at a store in the area. This was the fourth robbery at the establishment this month.
During the robbery, a police officer who entered the store was overpowered and had his weapon taken by the thieves.
Shortly after, a large number of police officers arrived in the community to gather information and find the individuals who took the firearm.
Residents were worried because previous robberies at the same store did not prompt such a strong police response.
