Palmer Township police ask for public’s help after parks are vandalized nearly nightly
Updated 11:50 AM;
Palmer Township police are asking neighbors of or visitors to township parks to notify authorities if they see anything suspicious.
Since park restrooms have opened for the season, there has been nearly nightly vandalism that has had to be repaired almost daily by township public workers employees, police said in a Crimewatch post.
Supervisors Chairman David Colver said that over the years there has been occasional vandalism in the parks that gets fixed and it’s done with. But this year, especially at LaBarre Park, in the 1300 block of Mine Lane Road, and Old Orchard Park, in the 3600 block of Baldwin Drive, there has been “a little bit of a rash of it,” he said.
CLOCKED going 90km/h over the posted speed limit, a 32
-year-old man with a probationary licence was one of 50 drivers nabbed for speeding over the Anzac Day long weekend.
The man, having only regained his licence in March (it was disqualified for six months for a drink-driving offence), was seen travelling at 150km/h on an 60km/h stretch of Baldwin Drive in Kaleen at about 12.30pm yesterday (April 26).
He lost his licence again and was given a $1841 fine.
Of the drivers nabbed by police, at least 10 were travelling at more than 30km/h over the speed limit throughout the four-day, double demerit period, including a 19-year-old P-plater, who was caught driving at 138km/h in an 80km/h area on Adelaide Avenue at about 9.30pm last night.
