Robberies in Riviera Beach

Mr H · Nov 13, 2014

Apparently there have been several 'armed' robberies along Ft. Smallwood Road, and vicinity in recent weeks.

A friend of mine was at the Lauer's on Monday after work, when someone stuck something in her back and demanded her purse.

Well, I couldn't be more proud.

She appeared to reach for her purse on her shoulder, but instead grabbed the pepper spray I had given her some time ago, and doused the guy but good, over her back.

While he was fetal and crying like a baby, she bolted inside to have the store call police.

He was still far less than manly when they arrived, and was arrested. It turned out he had no gun, but I really don't know if it would have mattered??!

Just something to consider, both in that area and for folks in general.

Yes. I take care of my friends. Anyone who knows me wouldn't make such an inference.

In fact, I hand out pepper spray to a number of people I know, who are interested in having a 'little buddy' alongside.

Sh!t's starting to get way too close to me. This is why I moved to the far side of a peninsula to begin with.

Bear spray for everybody!

Great story MrH...you're a thoughtful devil...I always said so.

Have the robberies stopped after this guy was caught? I live in Riviera Beach and my wife and kid walk to Lauer's weekly.

marko12 · Nov 13, 2014

I've done the same thing, given pepper spray as a gift and sometimes I've gotten a very strange look.

Good job, you are a good friend.

Don't know yet, but I'd sure hope it's less now.

AACPD has been very reluctant (for about 3-4 years now) to release any information about local crime. I don't get it.

bobthefisher · Nov 13, 2014

What pepper spray brand and in what format do you recommend? I need some stocking stuffers.

Mr H · Nov 13, 2014

I'll wait for real experts on this, but I go with Sabre, just because I know the name is trusted.

Maximum strength or 3-in-1 (OC, Tear, UV marker)... I really don't know if there's a preference for folks either way, but I lean to the Max.

Someone just tried to either carjack or rob my wife at the red light at ft Smallwood and Marley neck. I'll be making a separate post about it in this forum shortly.

Horrible situation to be in, stay safe out there

They post on twitter and facebook all the time. Generally not about low level stuff, but they actually aren't too bad. Better than most local departments IMHO.

Of course, we could talk about the 3 homicides in the last 10-12 days too.

Mr H · Nov 18, 2014

I used to be quite satisfied with the information on spotcrime and crimereports websites, but about 3 or so years back, they stopped providing that info

stank · Nov 18, 2014

Will keep my eye out for the Mitsubishi and told the wife to do the same.

In other states, everyone in the vehicle, which was stolen, would have been held accountable for their son's murder.
