Pennsylvania State Police from Troop J, Avondale, are
investigating a series of burglaries in Pennsbury Township. Some of the
incidents are three months old.
Press releases on the burglaries were not issued.
ChaddsFordLive.com learned of the incidents from residents, one of which said
her home had been burglarized.
Tpr. Corey Monthei, the community services officer for Troop
J, confirmed the ongoing investigation saying there have been a handful of the
residential burglaries in the Pennsbury Way and Hillendale Road areas of the
township during the past 90 days.
“By no means, should one view this as a crime-wave or
believe the township is a particularly targeted area,” Monthei said in an
e-mail. “I would, however, encourage residents to use good common sense when it
comes to securing their homes. Doors must be locked at all times, even while at
home. Vehicle doors must be locked while parked in the driveway, and should be
free of valuables, especially visible items such as purses, laptop computers,
and GPS units.”
Monthei said spare keys and weapons should never be stored
in a vehicle, and that people should call the police if they see any suspicious
activity in their neighborhoods. The phone number for the Avondale barracks is
610-268-2022.
