Who are the three juveniles???
Why do u care who they were?
They are criminals. Name and Shame.
or post pics of them to be careful if we see them
Read the article:
They’re Juvies, No names, no pictures, and unfortunately,probably no time served.
lakewood police are the best
take them to the woods and give a lesson they wont forget, tell them next time worse
move them into tent city
Why is someone walking around with $400 in cash on them? Something sounds fishy..
You can’t move them to tent city. They already live there.
Congratulations to the LPD. Thank you for your great work in keeping us safe.
