Janesville has burglaries every day. Just check out the Public Record to see where most Janesville burglars live. Why identify the guy as a Beloit man ? Typical Gazette Beloit bashing. When the Gazette starts reporting the serious burglary/robbery problems that Janesville has, and the heroin/crack/meth underlayment, we will take it as a serious, objective source of news. Covering up the escalating crime wave, the athlete arrests (or,catch-and-release, as they describe it) will only exacerbate the problems.
