Bad Boys

So....some of you might be aware the FM Bank in Lakewood was robbed Wednesday by two men that fled in a dark Toyota north bound on Lakewood blvd....and upon being promptly cornered, decided to get out of the car and flee on foot down an alley behind some houses ....after passing a few of these one story private homes built in the 1950's, one robber decided to crash through a back gate seeking a place to hid from the two police copters with spot lights tracking them...both went hiding and suddenly disappeared from the Air Police view.

Upon finding out the "gate crasher" had entered the back door of a house that contained several rifles, shot guns and pistols, the Lakewood Police SWAT team consisting upwards of 10 large gentlemen, heavily flake jacketed and helmeted, armed with 9 mm side arms, as well as sling over the neck machine guns, were called in to cordon off the whole block for what became a very time consuming, police dogs assisted, house by house search from both ends of the block, heading towards the house in the middle of the block containing the above mentioned firearms.

Systematically seeking these two fugitives, one was very quickly located under a large back yard table in one of the first homes encountered, but the other had proved to be quite more elusive....until finally one of the Police dogs signaled a scent captured of the fugitive towards a dark remote corner of the side yard belonging to the house with all the firearms, behind a 6 feet tall wooden gate.

With lighting speed and brute force applied to the opening of this wooden gate, thus allowing the 100 lb, bruiser of a German Sheppard with sharp teeth, to enter and aggressively corner the fugitive, which, as it turns out, was hidden under a wooden canoe, behind a kayak, and propane bottles, all covered neatly with a large canvas tarp......see picture of gate attached.

Never a dull moment at the Douglas House!!!!!
