Detention on the bus
The patrol only saw the man for a moment, yet she was fascinated by some of his features, and after verifying with colleagues in the store, they confirmed that he was most likely the man he was looking for. Police watched the bus the man boarded, and because there was a risk that he might still have a gun, they sought the help of several other patrols. Together, the men in the bus were detained under the threat of aimed weapons.
