Police Busy Investigating Flat Tire Bandits---Mexicans Arrested.

Philipsburg: --- The Detective department is presently investigating several cases of
theft where the suspects distract their victims by intentionally letting the air out of a tire of their car during their absence. When the victims want to drive away with their car, they would realize that one of the tires has no air. The suspects will then offer the
victim their assistance to have the tire changed or repaired. While distracting the victim another suspect would gain access into their vehicle steal whatever items the victims have in their vehicle. In connection with the ongoing investigations the detective department has arrested a Mexican man and woman as suspects in these cases. The detective department is cautioning the entire community to pay very close attention to these type of criminal activities. Also the detective department is encouraging anyone who has recently experienced this type of criminal activity to come into the department
to file an official report.
