Gary Tomalez

Gary Tomalez is a thirteen-year-old with great ambition to become a policeman, along with his best friend Kai Roberts (Kai Uyeda). He attempted to become a policeman with Kai, but they were both rejected by the Chief of Police (Maisie Hubley). Gary is known as being the thinker of the duo, and typically came up with ideas. Gary is played in Halloween Bandits by Addison Hubley.

Conflict with the Halloween Bandits
Gary and Kai applied at Burglarville County Police Department, but were rejected by the Chief of Police (Maisie Hubley) due to their age, and because all new recruits were to be immediately assigned to the project of finding and arresting members of the Everett System, a criminal organization responsible for several recent crimes.

However, Gary had the idea to dress as policemen, and catch the criminals, in the hopes that the Chief of Police would rethink giving them jobs. They attempted to track down the Everett System, but in the process became confused on which robberies they were to be researching, and accidentally turned their efforts toward capturing the Halloween Bandits. In two particular cases, they managed to find the Halloween Bandits in the act.

In the first, Gary hid in a trash can along the side of the house, and Kai hid behind it. However, the Halloween Bandits walked right past, and Gary and Kai's efforts to stay hidden had prevented them from seeing. As soon as they had passed, they came out of their hiding places, and went to hide in a tree in the backyard of the house the Halloween Bandits were breaking into. Gary and Kai witnessed them picking the lock and deactivating the security alarm, and were certain they would capture the Halloween Bandits, but the group hid around a corner as the two went by, and quietly fled the scene.

The second time, both had sworn revenge for the previous incident, and this time managed to capture Charlie Wood while the Halloween Bandits were making their escape, as he was at the tail end of the group. Charlie was brought before the police and sent to jail. Although the Chief of Police was pleased with the two young boys, she refrained from giving them jobs, because the two were supposed to be focusing on the Everett System's criminals, not the Halloween Bandits, and instead of taking Charlie to the police, they abandoned him in the desert. Soon afterwards, Charlie was replaced by another classmate of the others, Alex "Albino" Williams (Eli Clifford).
