The Newtown Borough Police Department had a busy March with officers responding to 185 service calls, according to Chief of Police James Sabath.
The month included handling three traffic accidents. No reported injuries.
A local shop was cited for illegally selling vape products to minors, the chief said.
Another investigation was launched after a woman allegedly received $600 worth of Botox treatments at a borough business and left without paying.
“They said she had a look of surprise when she went running out the door,” Sabath joked.
Authorities are also probing a check washing scheme that stemmed from stolen mail, Sabath said.
A CVS clerk helped prevent a potential financial scam involving a 79-year-old woman who was deceived into buying gift cards by a scammer. The clerkâs quick action to call 9-1-1 halted the scam in its tracks, according to the chief.
The borough saw several public intoxication cases last month. In the incidents, the intoxicated people were safely transported home.
A 61-year-old man from Newtown Township was found unconscious due to intoxication and was subsequently taken to St. Mary Medical Center for treatment, Sabath said.
