Wait a minute. Crime is down in the "bury"

hmm think these guys called in the bomb threat at the mall to get the police distracted

Anonymous said...

Good timing with most of the police sitting around the mall.

Good time to rob a bank...all the police are at the mall...

C Gilbert said...

Maybe the bomb threat at the Centre was just a diversion for the bank robbery.

Hope everyone is OK, John.

I wonder if that's who called in the bomb threat @ the mall to keep police busy.

Anonymous said...

all are ok. Just shakin.. couldn't imagine but thank god all are safe.

We need the National Guard to remove the gang problem.

If the bomb threat was a diversion, they probably would have hit the bank shortly after the police responded to mall rather than hours later.

Was the mall incident meant to be a distraction?

Eddie Fletcher needed some quick cash to get out of town! Check the bus station.

Not sure why all the derog comments about Sheriff Lewis, he's County not City. Why not dis Joe Arapahoe in Arizona?

Salisbury is in Wicomico county and WCSO has jurisdiction along with MSP and SPD. Not for nothing, Mike is a target because he is a local that has become successful and there is plenty of resentment by those that failed to achieve anything beyond just surviving.

3:51 He's wearing face gear, gloves, and covered head to toe. Impossible to tell race, genius. Look at the picture.

We don't need the National Guard. We need the police chief to allow the cops to hit the streets! There are several officers at the pd that are more than willing to go out there and get the job done! But she's too worried about politics and customer service! Salisbury needs a street/gang/drug unit ASAP! Let these criminals know they can't get away with this!

the bank robber probably called in the bomb threat to get all the cops to one side of the city (NOTH) and robbed the bank of Delmarva (SOUTH) while all cops are gone...

JoeAlbero said...

Keep it up jackasses, your racist comments will just continue to be rejected as they always are.

You know what Folks, there's only ONE person out there with a waste of time Blog that would be trying to send in up to 50 racist comments a day, (at least) in which we have to reject.

There's only a few people so obsessed with Joe Albero and Salisbury News success that they'd waste all that time day after day trying to get that one comment through.

I actually had THREE comments come in today about the young woman who died in a car wreck this morning that were sexual comments, that's how SICK these people are.

I've been doing this for so many years now, I KNOW WHO THEY ARE by the way they write. I know who they are by the way their comments come in not one minute after we publish the article, JT. He has a RSS feed in which he is the first to know we've published an article.

It's a damn shame we have to sit here sifting through so many stupid comments by INSANE people who keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.

As an Oriole fan, anybody that wears a Yankee hat is no good.

JoeAlbero said...

4:10, you may be right. That being said, don't you think the Police should do like the Fire Departments and get other agencies at the other end of town to cover their backs while they're busy elsewhere.

Anonymous said...

Haha Joe thats a good one...

How about we get the fire boat out there in the water to search for this bank robber? Surely the boat will find them...

BOY THATS THE BIGGEST NY EMBLEM I EVER SAW ON A YANKEES HAT. MAN THIS CITY HAS GONE WILD SPRING HAS SPRUNG IN THE BURY

He probably bought the hat at the place in the mall when he was planting a fake bomb. Review the CCTV from the hat store.

This is what the drug cartels call organizing the chaos. Things are about to get interesting, we haven't had a good thaw yet, wait for warmer weather and even more crime that comes with it. Once the drug cartels have LE chasing their tails with so much violent crime, the drug market expands and you ain't seen nothin' yet! Get your thumbs out of your butts LE, you got bigger fish to fry than some poor slob smoking some pot.

I was there at 2:40
Pulled out and he was riding a grayish/blue mountain bike going north . He is a black male 45-50 years of age, 5'10"-6'...180-200lbs.
Beard and mustasch
I know for a fact because at the light by giant I stopped at a green light and let him go through the intersection.

I never heard of a small area like Salisbury in the country having so many bank robberies.

Anonymous 4;11 I resent your remark about Yankee fans. I have been a Yankee fan since 1948 and I have worked and payed my taxes every year. I understand your pain. It's been so long since you have had a winner you cant remember.

Anonymous said...

My money is on the fact that there ain't no rednecks wearing a Yankees cap.

If this is true then I hope you have forwarded this info to PD

Anonymous said...

If they do find out who it is they can do a "call in" and let the person know what they could charge them with, buy them pizza, tell them never to do it again and send them on their way.

The guy was just trying to get enough money to pay his first premium for Obamacare. Give him a break.

To 5:24 - Posting that said I never heard of a small area like Salisbury in the Country having so many bank robberies.

Response: If you had attended last nights NAACP function you would soon come to realize why - there aren't any jobs. Plain and simple, there is not much of a way to survive here in Salisbury. Drugs, robberies, thief, and bank robberies are the industries.

5:29 Oriole players don't get convicted and suspended for doing drugs. Oh, did I mention contempt during Congressional hearings. I will give credit where credit is due. Derick Jeter is a class act, as well as Mariano Reveria.

Tell Scott the robbery happened at 2:50 and he was on foot. Not everyone on a bike is a criminal Scott

Wicomico militia is seeking members. We need to be able to protect ourselves.

So the robber just walked away with the money? This is even worse, the cops couldn't find him on foot?

Anonymous said...

To 10:31 AM Posting - Who Said the cops couldn't find him on foot.

Response: You must be a come here. Everyone who lives around here knows that if he could make it up to the Princeton, Roger Street area - he is virtually home free. With all of the little back alleys, dense housing, it would be almost impossible for the Police to comb every inch of that area. Let's face it - it is Crooks Hideout.

1:03 ever heard of tracking dogs???

Anonymous said...

Dogs are overrated 1:07. If they don't find what they are looking for in 5 minutes they lose interest. They are better at apprehension then tracking esp the shepherd breeds which aren't scent hounds so haven't an inherent trait to track to begin with.

Anonymous said...

3:02, did you even read what you wrote?? They are better at apprehension, that is what we all wanted, the criminal to be apprehended!

Anonymous said...

Responding to 1:07 - Use of Dogs

I don't know of any breed that can track the scent of a criminal exiting on rubber tires. If and when you do find a bred, please let me know as I want one.

Anonymous said...

4:28-You have to track the suspect down before they can be apprehended. Are you aware what "apprehend" means? It means to capture/catch after they have been located which means tracked down. There is a difference in the meaning of the words "track" and "apprehend." It is improper to use the words interchangeably.
