68 Cents?

One of the men that was involved in the robberies called the police saying that they have made a false report. He tried but failed because he used his mom's car in the robberies and the car was damaged during one of the crimes. No one was hurt during the robberies.

The Search Under Ice

Many Police and other rescuers have resumed their search for two missing teenagers that have supposedly fell through a partially frozen lake. People say that they heard screams yelling for help at about 6 P.M. and called the police about the screams. The search so far hasn't been successful. As they searched Monday night a helicopter was flying overhead as dozens of rescuers searched the icy lake. The police told the news that as the night went on the less likely they would be to find them. One of the police officers wrote on his facebook page, "I am sad to report that we likely lost two young adults in Mount Olive this evening."
