A recent post on the Lawton Sub-Reddit page by a person who is about to move here asked what areas they should avoid in Lawton, Fort Sill and what the crime rate was like. That's a great question and it appears that there are plenty of answers as well.
Oklahoma lawmakers are working on new legislation that would make stealing catalytic converters a felony. It's becoming a real problem in the Sooner State as more and more thieves are stealing these expensive parts from parked vehicles.
As prices at the pump continue to rise a lot of Oklahomans are concerned about price gouging and if gas stations across the state are guilty of taking advantage of recent events to line their own pockets.
Well, that didn't take long. It's been about 2 weeks since the gas prices started soaring and in no time flat, there are already reports of people stealing gas in Lawton, Fort Sill.
Several illegal medical marijuana farms were raided today by various Oklahoma law enforcement agencies. Were any of them connected to the Chinese or other countries? That's been the rumor for years that immigrants and criminal organizations were using the state's medical marijuana laws to buy up land, set up farms and sell their harvest on the black market illegally. I guess we'll find out soon enough, this bust was just the beginning!
