Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas, very pleased with the Mesa Police Department bringing an exceptionally violent crime spree to an end, was quick to commend the City of Mesa Police Department in bringing justice to our community and others around the Valley, from a group of terrorizing individuals.
Police Chief George Gascon, Mesa - put together a team of eight detectives and a sergeant to bring to an end, crimes by five men that occurred between May 25 - October 13, arresting them on October 28: 96 counts of armed robbery, kidnapping, misconduct with weapons, and aggravated assault.
Four out of the five believed in the U.S. illegally, perhaps previously deported; Thomas making the distinction, that illegal immigration problems are our crime problems.
I believe supporting our state, county, and city law enforcement agencies are critical to our communities - business, schools, and family. Learning how they function, I found brings understanding and a willingness to help be an eye for safety in one’s own neighborhoods.
