There seems to be no mention of what type of weapon was used while yet another innocent victim was allegedly accosted and robbed
Are we to assume there is another perpetrator running loose in the area whose weapon of choice seems simply to be bully-tactics and spiteful actions
Perhaps some clarity could be provided as more details become known – thank you for keeping us informed about whats actually going on
