Hey, guys, how about a game of basketball?
By the way, we’ll take your ball — and your phones.

Narrative
On 03.26.09 at about
1918 hours, officers were dispatched to the 637 W. Grove Circle reference
an armed robbery that had just occurred.

Lumina with Blue pin stripping showed up with 3 black males, all in their
late teens or early 20s, and a black female driver. The 3 males played
some basketball with the juveniles then walked off to the car with the
basket ball. One of the juveniles was on the phone when one of the black
males wearing a red shirt and jeans aprox. 20 years old returned from the
