Just another day in wonderful Best Valley City...
Just wondering | 4:53 p.m. July 2, 2008
Is this one of the guys who has been doing the robberies down around 4100 South at the Subway, Little Caesars, etc? If not, hopefully those robbers who seem to periodically hit those businesses will learn something from this. Of course, most criminals have the IQ of an earthworm and it'll only be a matter of time before they're gunned down.

And "Another Day", my bet is you aren't a resident of West Valley. There are the bad areas there, just as there are in any area of Salt Lake City and vicinity. Check your facts, West Valley isn't the only area to have crime -- but our officers know how to handle it. Can you say the same for where you live?
