Two friends who live right on Newark Road reported some excitement the evening of July 1. My friend who lives south of the dangerous S-curve said she spotted a guy screeching north, with five state police cruisers hot in pursuit. Shortly afterward, one of the troopers returned south on Newark Road. Another friend who lives north of the London Grove intersection said two state troopers zoomed past her house.
The story is that the guy being chased had been stopped on Route 1 (what for, we don't know) and took off north on Newark Road, turned right onto Route 926, and then went down Mill Road and hid. The police found him and he took off again, ending up at 926 and 841, where the troopers put down spike strips and a bunch of emergency flares (little piles of ash are still there). Despite the spike strips, the guy still got away. The police ran his tags and learned that he lives in West Grove. They had found his car, but not him, as of Tuesday morning.
