North Springfield gas station held up again

NORTH SPRINGFIELD — The Irving gas station in North Springfield was the victim of an armed robbery Wednesday night for the third time this year, police said.
Multiple police departments responded to the business on Route 106 near the Springfield Airport just after 7:30 p.m. following a report that a man with a gun had held up a female station attendant.
Police said the “tall” man was seen running into the woods near the old elementary school off School Street in North Springfield.
Two tracking dogs, one from the Springfield Police Department and one from the Vermont State Police, were called in to help with the investigation, which continued into the night.
Not happy about this as I'm working alone tonight. Isn't there anything better for people to do at night like sleep?
ReplyDeleteOK, one more time, will you please get a better camera.
ReplyDeleteOK OK now this isn't rocket science and I am not sure why Springding is so behind the times but this is simply fixed by putting in security glass at the register. It isn't anything new or innovative and gas stations have been doing this for well over a decade or two. Problem solved! its bullet proof there ya go. In the city they also have a panic button that not only calls police but locks down the damn doors which is hilarious to see the robbers trapped like rats....HELLO IRVING ARE YOU LISTENING? And I also agree with above...damn already spend a little money and get a high tech camera system...I mean REALLY!
ReplyDeleteThis place is the most unsafe place to work. Maybe if they couldn't find anybody to work there the company might do something.
ReplyDeleteBehold the new norm for Springfield. Where an armed robbery gets no more attention than jacklighting deer.
ReplyDeleteI would like to extend thanks to the full complaint of liberal representatives, senators, governor and his appointed judiciary. Just like Baltimore, Detroit, Newark, Ferguson and a dozen other human cesspools, Springfield too has become a progressive utopia.
Also need to extend special thanks to a selectboard elected by a critical mass of mental deficient, selfish, self-serving parasites for refusing to enforce zoning and curtailing rampant expansion of low income housing. And very most of all, an exceptional, extra special thanks to the director of Springfield Housing Authority who's shrew social engineering has made all this possible. Who could have ever contemplated enough addicts, drunks, unwed mothers, homeless, electively unemployed disabled, and other assorted parasites could be lured here via low income housing and social services to derail what was once the highest standard of living not only in Vermont, but most of Northern New England. Very well played sir!
Let's add unwed fathers to the list as well.
DeleteCome on Machinist, don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.
Deletemachinist,i take it you don't vote ?
DeleteGee, it's too bad the SPD didn't have an expensive sophisticated software package that would enable them to identify "clusters" of high crime areas that they could patrol more heavily and deter these robberies.
ReplyDeleteAt least I'm sure that's what they'll at least use as a partial excuse for letting this gas station and Rite Aid be robbed repeatedly.
Someone please drop off a map and some colored push-pins to the police station so that SPD can get a clue where these crimes are occurring.
And make sure there is more than two officers on duty...
DeleteRobbing Irving Came Easy ...RICE
ReplyDeleteNot having crime map program in place gives the administration their excuse. Plus they have to plan for the upcoming winter parking ban and people who speed on Clinton street. This is the safety we can count on
ReplyDeleteA crime map program does not prevent crime.
