John - I have not seen any other coverage for these reported alleged robberies, and the HCSO page for daily 'Calls For Service' has not been updated to show these events.
ReplyDeleteI usually have my scanner radios on all the time, but I was asleep at the time these events occurred in Eureka and McKinleyville.
Thanks for keeping the locals updated on what is happening in Humboldt County that does not appear in the other local news outlets.
Hi Big D. Thanks as always for your support. There were some posts last night no one covered but some information on the Eureka robbery was covered by KIEM on their facebook page and some information on the Eureka and Mckinleyville robberies on the facebook page but also posted in the early hours. I decided to post on both a bit later in the morning because, like you, I was asleep, and middle of the night posts don't get read by many.
