    What is up with all the crime in the Museum District lately? Is it summer? All the heat making people go crazy. I don’t like this at all.

    Talked to the owner. The assailants were hispanic. He said that they didn’t plan to change any aspects of their business as a result, they simply took down all the posters that were covering the front windows. The way the posters were set up before, the place was a sitting duck for crime. View of the street was completely blocked off.

    Police said they are seeking a fifth suspect, known by the name Rolando, who may have left the Richmond area.

    [...] Could the culprit be the still-at-large 5th suspect from the last robbery – Rolando? [...]
