The body of Thomas Haskins was a day away from being cremated – and his closest kin didn’t even know he was dead.Council President Tom Didier, R-3rd, asked Police Chief Rusty York to take a moment after the discussion of the Patrolmen's Benevolent Association contract to talk about the string of 12 robberies at apartment complexes that appear to be linked, including one Tuesday morning in which a woman who had a large kitchen knife on hand for protection was attacked and stabbed with it.
York said there have actually been 36 total robberies at apartment complexes since Jan. 1, but police have identified a group of "serial criminals" they are focusing their investigation on.
