Citizens to the Rescue

The legends are back. Bellevue community watch volunteers are fighting crime and stopping thieves at the QFC grocery store in Crossroads.

Witnesses say two suspected drug addicts tried to take off with stolen items this week.

But they were immediately chased down and forced to give up the goods.

What’s even more pathetic, the dude tries to save himself and leaves his female accomplice behind.

What a loser.
