Mayor Craig A. Moe and Chief Richard McLaughlin would like to inform residents about arrests that were made on Sunday, July 14. At approximately 9:52 am, the Laurel Police Department responded to the 300 block of Main St. for a home invasion robbery.  A married couple who resided in that area reported that they had been robbed by three males at gunpoint, who had barged into their home, bound the wife with tape and demanded money.
