RE: Botetourt stories of the year 2010–give crime solving credit where it is due

After yesterday’s Dec. 29, 2010 home invasion reports on Lugar Lane in Botetourt County and under our earlier story  on the top stories of 2010, the public safety view of  events specifically, the Botetourt View received an  email from a local citizen:

“Remember the Botetourt home intruders from about a year ago December 28, 2009? As you may have read in the last week or two, most have plead guilty on up to 25 home invasions through out the Roanoke Valley. Little if any mention has been made of who solved all the cases that the other jurisdictions mentioned  could not solve. That would be the Botetourt County Sheriff’s Office. You would think the U. S. Attorney’s Office would at least acknowledge who did the work.”

Here are the links to all related stories and indeed the Botetourt County Sheriff’s Office made the arrests:
