I was talking to my friend Samantha (who just happens to work at a local bank that is about 1 mile away) on the phone when all of the sudden I see two of our undercover detectives run out of the building to the parking lot. Well, considering the fact that these detectives rarely do anything that constitutes as "work" (IMHO), it was quite a shock to see them running and not even chasing anyone or being chased. As I give Samantha the play by play, I look at our dispatch screen to see exactly what was going on, when I see there is a call that was just dispatched for a "Robbery/Holdup". As I'm looking at the address, the location is becoming much more familiar. Then I see the bank it came from...the same bank that Samantha works at. Now, why I do this I'm not sure, but I lower my voice (like the bad guy could possibly be in my office or something) and tell her the screen is showing that her bank is in the process of being robbed. She says "WHAT"!? I reitereated that she can't say anything and continue to tell her the detaisl. She then tells me that there's nobody even in the bank, so how could they be getting robbed? At that point I had no idea, maybe it was a robbery to a person outside or at the ATM, but half of our major crimes section is heading out the door, so I tell her I'm on my way (because where there's a crime, there's a victim). I get there, see what an awesome job everyone has done of blocking off the intersections and start pulling people aside and pretty soon find out that it is across the street, not actually at the bank. Apparently someone who has an office at the upstairs of the bank saw two people across the street, one apparently having some type of gun in his hand point it at the other's head. Well, it actually turned out to be two kids playing laser tag, enjoying the nice spring day in their back yard.
Nice adrenaline rush for the day!
