- Two car burglaries on Sarasota Street overnight resulted in two guns stolen.

“So help me God”, is something we said in our oath but we’ve been saying it a whole lot more lately,” wrote the WCSO in a press release. “We’re doing all we can to prevent this but it’s not up to us.”
“We’re asking you; tell your wife, tell your kids, your neighbors, your parents, your property management company, your renters, the dog barking down the street, the mailman, the drive-thru barista, your customers, the in-laws you don’t like. Anybody. Everybody. To lock you cars.”
