Three teens arrested in ''Parking Lot Predator'' case

The Dayton Daily News is reporting that three teens suspected in at least 12 armed robberies in Trotwood area apartment complexes have been arrested by police.

Trotwood police said the boys were arrested after a police dog tracked them to an apartment unit moments after an attempted robbery. Using a search warrant, Sgt. David Kopf told the newspaper police found guns and jewelry reported stolen in some of the robberies.

The story says that "the cases last month involved young men brandishing handguns and demanding money from victims. Authorities are still awaiting ballistic tests in two other robberies where shots were fired — including one where an apartment complex maintenance worker was wounded."

These incidents highlight the fact that owners of apartment complexes, trailor parks, etc. are endangering those who live and visit in those places when they enforce prohibitions on their property.
