BROCKWAY, Pa. (EYT) – An unknown actor used a BB gun to shoot several vehicles at Creekside Auto, prompting the Brockway Borough Police Department to seek more information from the community.
The vehicles suffered cracks to the windshields. Police checked surveillance video nearby, but they ask that anyone with information contact the police department.
Also in the month of April, the borough police dealt with harassment, served warrants, investigated suspicious persons, and processed various traffic offenses.
Burglaries
During the week of April 7, a resident on Penn Avenue called for a burglary in progress. When officers arrived, a male was found on the front porch. The person was charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct and placed in the Jefferson County Jail. A week later, officers also assisted the Pennsylvania State Police with a call on Grandville Road.
Suspicious Activity
The police were called several times during April for suspicious activity in the borough.
Early in the month, officers responded to a call that a suspicious male sat on Park Street watching children playing in the area. The caller spoke with the male and got a license plate number as the male quickly left the area.
A man lying on the tracks near the Main Street railroad crossing turned out to be intoxicated and needed help for injuries sustained in a fall. He was given a public drunkenness citation.
A resident called the police to North Street. The resident found suspicious footprints in the mulch around his house. He has seen a strange man in a Subaru in the area. Police advised that the resident call again should the man return.
A woman talking to herself and walking around the fire hall prompted police to check on her well-being. She seemed to be okay.
In the middle of the month, a resident called because someone turned the locked doorknob of the residence.
Domestic Disturbances and Harassment
Officers had to break up a verbal disturbance on Alexander Street. The female left the residence. Later, a man reported his wife pulling his hair while they drove on 7th Avenue. The female is leaving that situation, and no further action is required.
A woman has been receiving vulgar text messages and contacted the police. The investigation is ongoing as the source of the messages has not yet been identified.
The police returned to Taylor Memorial Park to investigate an incident of harassment. The complainant decided to have the Little League take care of the matter and will not pursue charges.
