Nice work! Props to the MWP PD. juveniles + drugs + handguns = major trouble. The preps that keep breaking into the cars likely came down on the Metrolink. The transfer station at Hanley & Manchester serves as a big advertisement to come and loot and steal in our town….
The juveniles didn’t have the drugs and guns. Prejudice + illiteracy = major trouble.
Thank you to Maplewood Police for their service to the community keeping us safe.
Well marijuana isn’t so bad, but those guns, if not toys, are worth getting off the street.
