The NLCRPD was requested to respond and investigate an incident associated with the reporting of a theft. On 6/25/2022 at approximately 1711 hours NLCRPD was dispatched to the report of a theft at the Marathon/ High's Gas Station located 511 Furnace Hills Pike in Warwick Township.
LCWC further advised that approximately $900.00 worth of fireworks were stolen. Reporting party indicated that he was working the Keystone Fireworks stand in the gas station parking lot at approximately 1600 hours when a black in color Honda sedan bearing New York registration plate approached the stand.
The suspect descriptions were later provided by the reporting party as three Hispanic males described as follows: Suspect #1 approximately 6'4 15-22 years of age with a skinny build and straight hair , Suspects #2 & #3 specifically described as “non-descript” approximately 5'8 tall and 25-35 years of age medium build and one of them was wearing a gold chain.
The reporting party indicated the males wished to purchase three large ticket items consisting of a large variety pack containing different fireworks valued at approximately $299.99 each. The theft included a confuse and divert scheme where one individual attempted to convince the reporting party that the items were only $60.00 each and started the checkout process at that price.
