The family, all of the Long Island area, was apprehended late Saturday after Rick Mascia allegedly entered a Dunkin Donuts in Coram, located about an hour east of Manhattan, with a knife and demanded money, according to a police statement

The ensuing investigation led to the arrest of Lauren Mascia, according to police.“We were able to develop investigative leads that allowed us to identify several suspects,” Suffolk County Police Timothy Sini said during a press briefing on Sunday. “We then launched a comprehensive surveillance plan and were able to catch them in the act.”
Police say the family was allegedly involved in a total of seven late-night robberies, including two Family Dollar locations and two Carvel locations. The alleged heists all took place around Long Island dating back to September 23.
Rick and Lauren Mascia were each charged with six counts of first-degree robbery. Deborah Salvatore was charged with one count of robbery in the first degree."They committed robberies together and now they'll go to jail together," Sini said. "It was only a matter of time that we would catch them and we did. I'm glad that we were able to catch them before anyone got hurt."
The suspects were arraigned on Saturday in Central Islip, where they all plead guilty to first degree robbery, according to ABC's New York station WABC. It was not clear if they had obtained attorneys.PHOTO: Lauren Mascia, 31, who was arrested in connection with a string of robberies on Saturday.

This challenge is more prominent in online spaces like blogs and the social media. This is not to deny the obvious that facts also get disseminated through those mediums by legitimate sources.  These anomalies are the reasons why I decided to make my own little contribution by separating the facts from the fakes after investigations on the claims and counter claims. Below are the falsehood and facts which I will differentiate with "LIES" and FACT." 1a. Lies: Corona virus kills anyone who gets infected. 1b. Fact: Most people who get infected develop mild illness and recover without needing professional assistance. To buttress this point...
