The cashier told the suspect that she could call her manager to the front to open the drawer, and she then used the intercom system and called for the manager using a code that is not used and also asked for a key, to alert the manager that something was wrong. While she was waiting for the manager a customer approached. The cashier told the suspect that she would help the customer and then give him the money.

Bedford Pine Evictions
WSB-TV has reported that several tenants are being evicted from Bedford Pine for not calling 911. We find it interesting that Bedford-Pine chooses to focus on these tenants, and not the dangerous sex offenders and parolees living there (isn’t public assistance only for law-abiding recipients?). The sex offender registry shows one individual living in a Bedford Pine property with Aggravated Assault with Intent to Rape noted on his profile. A parolee shown to be living in Bedford Pine has a history of kidnapping, according to parole board records. Both the sex offender registry and the parolee database routinely show these kinds of individuals claiming addresses there. They come and go.
A great many tenants there will not report rampant drug activity because of retaliation. It’s all they can do to keep their children from becoming one of them. According to police sources, they generally beg the 911 operators not to have the officer come to their door. This raises another issue – in order to demonstrate that they are calling 911, the tenants have to put themselves or their children in harm’s way. Unfortunately, the police cannot be there as much as the drug-dealing thugs…
