Police seek

public's help

In the past few weeks, there have been a rash of vehicles broken into in the North Catasauqua area.

This seems to be occurring at all hours of the day and night.

Mayor Bill Molchany is asking all residents to serve as another set of eyes for the police department. If you see anything suspicious in your area, notify the North Catasauqua police at 610-437-5252 immediately. Do not approach the individual or individuals in question.

Here are a few things that residents can do to prevent this from happening and becoming victimized.

· Remove all valuables from your vehicle.

· Do not leave anything in plain view that would be attractive to thieves.

· Make sure your vehicle is locked at all times.

The North Catasauqua police are working to solve these crimes and believe they can end this spree of vandalism with the public's help.
