I'm relieved everyone is ok :) Muggings seem to be increasing all over JC (:

Also, the funniest part of the whole incident was when all the cops waited while my friend's Blackberry took forever to start back up again so that he could verify that it was indeed his phone.

My friend was the victim of this incident. He had been waiting for me to pick him up at 6th and Jersey Ave when two guys attacked him from behind and took his cash and his cellphone. There were two other guys who were part of the group but didn't take part in the act. They went down Jersey Ave after robbing my friend. I drove by about a minute after the incident and we immediately went to the police station and reported it. The cops doing the rounds found the kids who matched the description and then brought us there to ID them. The phone was recovered. All in all, great work by the JCPD. More than one officer told us how the city is planning to lay off a 100 cops and how we should do something about it.

There was another arrest on Jersey and Montgomery, about 6 to 8 youths. Perhaps these were related. Approximately 7:15 PM.

Does anyone have any info on a big arrest tonight on Erie & 2nd? Two adolescents arrested, id'd by victims, think it was robbery but couldn't hear everything going down...
