TURLOCK COPS
On Sunday I mentioned that Cindy Gibbs, our former church chair, found one of the rings that had been stolen during a home invasion robbery, where her whole family was tied up. There have been 19 such robberies in our area over the past few months.

And it happened again early this morning. However, this time an alarm went off and the police ended up in a wild car chase through town. There was shooting and a car wreck -- and helicopters flying over town for most of the morning. Two of the robbers were arrested immediately. Then two more were eventually captured. Apparently others have been arrested tonight.

The whole town is breathing a collective sigh of relief that these guys are finally off the street -- and no one got hurt in the arrests. People are still angry, though. It took a long time to catch them. And people around here are just appalled that such brutal people actually exist in our small city. Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.
