This is a BIG if. Now, he VPSO found evidence stashed from robbery, he was watching the site where kids party, out of all village residents these 3 men came calling.  Humm.  Question. Did he catch them at spot where cigs were stashed. Hands on? As for one crying? If they are young, family may choke him. He is facing serious charges. Then again VPSO should have could known them or ask for names and birth, then let them go as he was told. Leave it to Superior. So what went wrong?
