• Thieves Who Stick Up Cop, Get Bullet in the Buttocks

  This just in from the St. Louis police department. Thieves attempting to victimize an off-duty St. Louis police officer last night became victims themselves in a robbery-turned-shooting. The event occurred around 6:30 p.m. Thursday just after the cop cashed his paycheck at the Currency Exchange at 900 N. Grand Avenue. The 48-year-old officer was not in uniform as he walked to his car and was approached by two teenagers who flashed a gun and announced a holdup.View Larger Map

• RE: Dios Mios! St. Louis Police Shoot "Latino" Lover

  ​This story is just bizarre. Someone please get the St. Louis Police some Spanish interpreters -- a.s.a.p. This directly from the police:This morning (Wednesday), at 8:07am, a citizen called 911, saying she'd been stopped by a Latino woman asking for help because there were several burglars inside the woman's home several doors down.

• Burglars Beware: That Home You're Casing Could Be a "Bait House"

  ​The Post-Dispatch is out with an interesting article about how St. Louis County Police plan to use "bait houses" to catch burglars. The idea was borne from the popularity and success of bait cars -- vehicles rigged to kill the engine and lock the doors and windows when stolen by car thieves. The bait homes would work somewhat similarly. Police would rent out homes and outfit them with "bait" such as flat-panel televisions, high-end stereos, computers, etc. The cops would also install video mo

• Not So Clean Getaway: Teens in Stolen Car Get Shot, Bit by Dog, Roughed Up

  It wasn't a good night for a group of teens out joyriding in a stolen car. Police say they observed a vehicle near Enright and Grand around midnight today that had been reported stolen in a carjacking in St. Louis County. The cops attempted to pull over the car, but the driver refused to stop. The fleeing vehicle made it all the way north of Fairgrounds Park (more than two miles away from where it was initially spotted) before police could stop the car using spike strips. View Larger MapAf
