The West Marlborough supervisors heard two police reports at their June 2 meeting.
Lieut. Richard D'Ambrosio, commander of the Pennsylvania State Police at Avondale, said in the past three months there had been 54 incidents in West Marlborough, a slight increase over the same period in 2014. Only two of the incidents were criminal in nature: one was a case of harassment and the other was the theft of backup batteries at the cellular phone tower off Route 926 at Vince Dugan's equestrian training facility. The trooper said such thefts are "very common" and the thieves "know what they're doing."
He said there were 11 crashes in the township, only three that were reportable, and five drunken-driving arrests, eight false alarms, five calls for debris on the road and five calls for animals on the road, and one warrant served.
"This is a very safe community," he said of West Marlborough. "You always, always have the lowest numbers."
Chief Robert Clarke, who patrols the township for 40 hours a month, reported that he handled 15 incidents in May, issuing 11 speeding tickets and four warnings.
