EMPTY CHAMBER BLUFF. After seeing a snatcher run off with a woman’s necklace a man gave chase in his private vehicle and tailed the thief. From inside his vehicle the man then confronted the thief but made it a sure to show he had a gun with him. He had a license to carry the gun but at the time it was empty of ammunition. The thief stopped to talk, but when he saw the gun he dropped the necklace and ran off. The man no longer bothered to run after the robber but picked up the necklace. He later turned it over to the police after he could no longer find the woman whom the necklace belonged to.
RED LIGHT OUT IN THE OPEN. Commuters waiting for a ride along Borromeo St. beware! Stand in the wrong place and you could be mistaken for a solicitor by the numerous pimps and prostitutes who operate there late at night. And sometimes they won’t take no for an answer. After reportedly ignoring the queries of a pimp an Ear source said he suddenly found himself surrounded by the pimp’s “security detail”. It was only lucky for him that a patrolling police car happened to pass by and he hightailed it to the next block which was well-lit and had more people.
