And three other stories in these Whitehall Borough police notes.

Vulgar Message A resident from the 1700 block of Skyline Drive in the Wallace (Prospect) Park area notified Whitehall Borough police at around 3:38 p.m. on Monday that his Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck had recently been vandalized, Whitehall police Deputy Chief Richard M. Danko said. The victim's truck had several scratch marks on it, apparently made by a key used by an unknown person. Some of the scratches—made sometime between Saturday night and Sunday morning while the truck was parked to the rear of the victim's apartments building—spelled out the word "whore," Danko said. The victim said that he did not have any problems with his building's management or with fellow residents of his building. Whitehall police are investigating. …

Group Including Youths Believed to Have Heroin in Prospect Park Area

Also, a Whitehall resident has a bad e-commerce experience.

Heroin, Marijuana Believed to Be on Group in Prospect Park Area A Whitehall Borough resident from the 1745 Skyline Dr. apartments building in the Wallace (Prospect) Park area contacted Whitehall police at around 7 p.m. on Friday to report four suspicious males at the rear of his building, police Chief Donald R.

Police: Heroin Found by K-9, Remnant City Burglarized and More

Whitehall Borough police stories from this past week.

Heroin Found by K-9 on Spring Valley Drive A Whitehall Borough police officer monitoring traffic in the 5300 block of Spring Valley Drive stopped a vehicle for speeding at around 9:55 a.m. on Monday, Whitehall police Chief Donald R. Dolfi said. As the officer interacted with the speeding driver—Paul Howard Schuetz, 29, of 243 Whitehaven Dr. in Richland Township—Schuetz appeared nervous and fidgety, Dolfi said. The officer then noticed an orange needle cap beneath Schuetz's seat, which he reported that Schuetz was trying to conceal. Unluckily for Schuetz, the officer had a K-9 unit available and used the dog to search for and locate heroin and drug paraphernalia in Schuetz's vehicle. Schuetz has been charged with possession of a controlled …

Agree. The last time there was a drug bust by Whitehall a few people were upset over the drug bust, as they said the cops should be doing other things besides looking for pot smokers. The more drugs they take away though drug bust the better the community is.   more ›
