[Vision2020] MPD Press Release

[keely emerinemix]

If the people were carrying the TV down Main Street and relieved of it at gunpoint, or if the TV was taken by force while they were in their home, that's robbery.   "They were robbed!" is correct in this case.  

But if someone broke into the TV owner's home and stole the TV, that's burglary.  I would imagine the MPD knows the difference, but correct terminology, even in press releases, is important.

How can people help the police locate the persons of interest 
if their names are not given?

  Reference:  Robbery Update
   
  On December 22, 2009 at 7:45 pm, a robbery was 
  reported at 1028 Harrison Street.  A 28 inch flat screen television was 
  taken by two suspects who left in a small white passenger car with Washington 
  license plates.
   
  The on-going investigation has identified two persons 
  of interest who have a history with the victim.  Detectives have 
  determined this incident was not random and the residence on Harrison was 
  selected by the suspects with the primary motive to take the 
  television.
   
  Detectives are attempting to locate and interview the 
  two persons of interest in this case.  Anyone with information on this 
  case is asked to call Detective Scot Gleason at 208-883-7054 or to leave an 
  anonymous tip to please call our tip hotline at 
208-892-3898.
