Just another crazy day!!

In the month of October, in the northwest region of Wisconsin, there were 6 bank robberies. As a result, all banks have taken additional security measures and have been watching suspicious activity a little more. Our branch is usually pretty aware of walkers, slow vehicles, odd happening and those wearing hats or hoodies. Today, one of tellers watched a vehicle come down the road, slow way down near the Menard's parking lot entrance and then speed up and drive half way on the curb, half on the road and then turn on his police lights. The unmarked vehicle was closely followed by a marked suv who also parked half on the sidewalk, half on the road. This is when the rest of the staff came to the drive-up to watch. The officers got out of the vehicles with weapons drawn. And, we are not talking about your basic hand-guns. We are talking full-blown semiautomatic rifles. YIKES!!!!!! The vehicle they were by had another car parked perpendicular to it. We saw several police officers floating around and all of a sudden the first officer we saw came from behind a bush with a small child, probably about 4. He was quickly put into the unmarked vehicle. As that suv was being moved, a squad car pulled up. Now was the first time we were able to see the men they had in handcuffs. Our view was blocked by our ATM (thanks ATM) and some larger bushes. The men were patted down and placed in separate vehicles while other officers searched their Dodge station wagon looking car. It was all insanely crazy!!!! We are still waiting to hear what exactly went down but we know it was more than a shoplifting case. At least, that's not how we handled shoplifters at Target.
So, this was in addition to barely sleeping last night and waking up to the squish of carpet in a flooded laundry room. :)
I'll keep you informed of what I find out with Menards. Fortunately, we know the manager over there very well.
