At approximately 9:30 PM this evening, LPD officers were swiftly dispatched to the scene of a bodega robbery on Level Three in John Nobel, situated just down the street from Meridian Elementary School. The officers responded to the distress call with utmost urgency, their primary concern being the safety of the community and the apprehension of the suspects responsible for this brazen act.
Upon arrival, officers found the store owner, Mr. Eugene Lackamp, visibly shaken but fortunately unharmed. The scene revealed the distressing aftermath of the crime, with shattered glass strewn across the floor, broken display shelves, and items scattered haphazardly throughout the store. The criminals had not only targeted the bodega’s cash, but they had also callously damaged the establishment and disrupted the tranquility of the neighborhood.
According to Mr. Lackamp, two masked individuals, both appearing to be maero, barged into the store, their identities concealed by their masks. With an air of menace, they demanded money from the register, leaving Mr. Lackamp with little choice but to comply. Faced with the threat of violence, Mr. Lackamp prioritized the safety of both himself and the other customers present.
“I was just closing up for the night when they came in,” Mr. Lackamp recounted, his voice trembling with a mix of fear and relief. “I was terrified, but I just did what they asked and gave them the money. I’m just glad they didn’t hurt me.”
The Lovat Police Department has swiftly launched a comprehensive investigation into the robbery, dedicating substantial resources to tracking down the suspects responsible for this reprehensible act.
The LPD is calling upon the community to remain vigilant and report any information that may be relevant to the case. Residents are urged to contact the LPD Tip Center by reaching out to their warren’s on-duty block officer, visiting any Directory Agent, or utilizing the convenient Wilmarth Messaging Services’ Telegrams.
