If your one of the few people who missed seeing Avatar the first time it was in theatres, your in luck. James Cameron's large blue aliens are coming back to the Maya cinemas in all their 3D glory.

Avatar:Special Edition will arrive in Salinas Friday Aug 27th

So what's so special about the new addition? 8 whole minutes of video. Yes, Avatar will be even longer, which may or may not be a good thing?

Per Salinas Police:

Violence Suppression Unit Officers initiated a vehicle stop on two Salinas gang members. The driver, later positively identified as Michael Saldivar (Age 19), ran from the vehicle and jumped a fence toward Natividad Creek. The passenger, Joseph Saldivar (Age 39), a parolee, was removed from the vehicle where a stolen .22 caliber semi-automatic pistol was recovered. Officers set up a perimeter and searched for Michael but  were unsuccessful in finding him. Joseph was booked into the Monterey County Jail and the investigation continues.

Anyone who may know the whereabouts of Michael Saldivar is encouraged to contact the Salinas Police Department at (831) 758-7226. If you would like to remain anonymous, you can call the Salinas Police Department Anonymous Tip Line at 831-775-4222, or the We-Tip Line at 1-800-78-CRIME, or text information to the Text Tip Line with the code "SPD831" to "847411".
