## Resource

A teen in Canterbury just got three years for a brazen robbery filmed with a BB gun and posted online—part of a crew that smashed a shop while one member swung an iron bar and the other directed the heist on his phone. Superintendent Tony Hill says the video made it worse and hopes it deters others. The shop owner, who’d removed security bars thinking things were safe, is now back to panic mode. Police are battling a regional surge in crime, and this sentence is seen as a win for officers tackling the wave of thefts and break-ins. This case underscores the real cost of glorifying violence—and the community’s demand for justice. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
