Thanks for the info. I was curious, passed it twice in doing errands!
LCR…….
What you saw was K9 training for the newest edition in Lewis County. The Chronicle recently had an article about LCSO and Chehalis PD hiring the new four legged officers.
Wondering what was up on Rush Road this afternoon. Had a sheriff’s car, a Centralia PD truck and a Chehalis PD cruiser all by the side of the road, plus officer with dog.
I used to live in the 600 block of South Cedar. I had to call centralia pd a few times because people were creeping in the alley next to the house I lived in .
Wow, that’s a lot of “nothing appeared to be missing”. Just casing? I’d be wary of it happening again, only this time with the very valuables gone. I wonder if the thugs also check to see how well the home owners guard their homes?
