Kids now unsafe at Silver Lake Park

Teen robbed by man on a bicycle

A 14-year-old Rochester boy was robbed of $26 while riding his bicycle Saturday evening in the 800 block of East Silver Lake Drive ...that is, he was riding his bike in one of our busiest city parks. A man on another bike had his hand in his pocket, as if he had a gun, and told the boy to give him his money.

At the meeting last week, Chief of Police Roger Peterson said he expected 'some form' of response to put boots on the ground in these areas, on foot or bicycle.

Where are they?
How long must we wait for a response?
What did the 'man' look like? How would anyone else know what 'man' to keep an eye out for? Why wasn't this in the paper as well?
