A disturbing discovery has North Texas police officers concerned. The so-called "scarecrow bandits" arrested yesterday worebody armor. A Garland police officer whose life was saved by a bullet-proofvest says it's scary when criminals wear the same gear designed toprotect the good guys. Police sources confirmed authorities found body armor when theyarrested the suspects known as the "scarecrow bandits." "The suspect saw us coming and closed the Armor Door and startedshooting at us through the closed door," said Garland policeofficer, Dan Colasanto. If anyone knows the value of body armor, it's Colasanto. He wore abullet proof vest yesterday as he did 10 years ago, when he wasshot in the chest by a drug suspect. What worries Colasanto is that the bad guys become much harder totake down when they're in body armour. That's what happened in a 1997 Los Angeles bank heist. The robbers were heavily armed and heavily protected by bodyarmour.
