Cedar Rapids police plan little change to curb robberies
Cedar Rapids law enforcement says no major changes in police activity are planned to curb a recent robbery surge. Chief Wallace LaPeters notes about half of robberies in the past three months have been cleared, with 22 robberies in December and 100 in all of last year. He cites limited manpower and a lack of pattern, stating surveillance is difficult and crime may move around, while response times and offender sobriety affect arrests.
