Why are there so many assaults at westbard? Is there a lot more low income housing around there than I thought?
Related to shoplifting?
It might not have been clear in the original report, but, does "at the store" necessary mean, inside the store?
Or could this have been something that happened in the parking lot?
11:22: Typically, if the incident would have occurred on the parking deck, that would have been noted as having taken place in a "parking garage." In this case, MCPD indicated it occurred in the store.
8:15: Always a possibility; however, I did not see a shoplifting call for that time of day.
