What's Going on Around Here?

Mission Viejo has consistently been ranked among the safest cities in the United States, but the last two days don't show that. On Wednesday night there were two separate strong arm robberies involving 4 youths who used baseball bats to rob and beat pedestrians. Then last night four guys committed a home invasion robbery and were captured after a pursuit.

So far there's been no connection made between the three events, but it wouldn't surprise me if the same lowlifes are involved in all of these robberies. I hope that's the case since the perps are now off the street.

Lots of people walk at night around here. If we start having anymore robberies like the ones above, it's going to change the whole lifestyle of the area. It might also prompt somebody to go all Charles Bronson and start looking for an opportunity to encounter these guys with something more than a baseball bat.

If you want to rob people, go to Santa Ana. We don't do that stuff here.
