Break-in Arrests made

Yesterday in Wellsboro, Pa some young adults were stopped on a traffic stop. They were dressed in Camo with 2-way radios. Not unusual for hunting season here. But it raised suspension enough to make the police take them in for questioning. It didn't take long before at least one of them admitted to the crimes and told them where the loot was being kept. It was at the house of an older female relative(who has also been arrested as an accessory to the crime) and I guess there is a lot of it. They currently believe these young adults have been responsible for robberies and vandalism in three counties: Potter, Tioga, and Lycoming over the last ten months. Most recently it has been in our area the last month.

They knew the roads well and kept lookouts with 2-way radios to warn them if someone was coming. For the most part they knew when people would be gone and concentrated their efforts on the cabins they knew would be vacant. The stealing of the 4-wheeler from my neighbor may be their undoing valued at over $5000 that alone is a felony. They aren't sure if there are more people involved at are continuing to question the suspects. For now we can all breathe a little easier knowing at least one group of bandits have been captured.

Good News on Break-in's

Last week my neighbor's cabin fell victim to the break-in's and his newer 4-wheeler was taken. The good news is they found it yesterday along with several other stolen items and are getting ready to arrest the people responsible. Yeah!

We are hoping these are the ones responsible for all the break-ins but only time will tell. I will let you know if I get anymore information on an arrest, but for now at least a little justice is on its way.

NOTICE: Anyone missing items contact the State Police at 570-662-2151 or Brian Caldwell at 570-724-2868 immediately.
