State police report several theft investigations, including one in Black Lick Township in which a handgun was stolen.
Police say that early last Friday morning, someone got into the vehicle of a 75-year-old man who lives along Thompson Road, stealing a black .38-caliber Colt revolver with a two-inch barrel. The same thief evidently then went to the home of a 64-year-old man who lives along Route 217, stealing a wallet containing a driver’s license, credit cards, and about fifty dollars cash from a vehicle there. Anyone with information is asked to call state police at 357-1960.
A thief stole blank checks, a Social Security card, Medicare insurance card, and tax receipts from a vehicle left unlocked between 2 PM and 3 PM last Thursday at Rankin’s Exxon, along Route 422 in Armstrong Township. The victim is a 63-year-old woman who reported the theft the next morning.
Items valued at more than $600 were stolen in a burglary between last Wednesday and Friday at a home along Third Avenue in Burrell Township. A 25-year-old woman who lives there said the thief got in without the use of force and took a jewelry box, jewelry, a lock box, a collection of gold presidential coins, and a collection of U.S. quarters. Again, if you have information, you are urged to call police at 357-1960 and ask for Trooper Henry Field.
State police also report a suspected DUI arrest last month at the intersection of Warren and Ben Franklin roads in White Township. It happened April 24th at 6:43 PM, with police accusing 69-year-old William Reynolds of Indiana of being under the influence of both alcohol and a controlled substance.
Indiana Borough Police are investigating the theft of a car from a home in the eleven-hundred block of Church Street on Saturday. A 2008 silver Nissan Sentra was taken in the early-morning hours by a man known only as “Pops”. There is no description offered of the suspect, but police ask anyone with information on the theft or the true identity of “Pops” to call 349-2121.
