“It’s very, very brazen especially with somebody mowing next door, and they still ran up, when there is somebody witnessing it, yeah that was the biggest surprise that there was somebody right there and they still,” said Dana Meyer, a nearby neighbor.

“Yeah, that type of neighborhood, during that time particular time of day, it is not what we expect, and I don’t think it is what the innocent public expects and so we take this violent robbery seriously,” said Douglas County Sheriff Aaron Hanson.
