Vons Supermarket in Supervolcano
Captain Colin Ferguson and Sgt. Gabe Sanchez investigated an armed robbery at a Vons Supermarket in San Atanasio several years after the Yellowstone Supervolcano had erupted. Due to gasoline shortages, the two pedaled on bicycles from the police station to the shopping plaza where the grocery was located after the call came in. Ferguson interviewed Rudabeh Barazani, the store manager and Carmela, the checker who was robbed at gun-point. He received a rather generic description of a middle aged white man or light skinned Hispanic who escaped on an adult sized tricycle that had become popular after the eruption. He had Sanchez radio it in and got lucky since a bicycle patrolman spotted and arrested a suspect matching the description.
