Lansdale Police Chief Robert McDyre has announced that he will open up the police department’s front parking lot off of Vine Street to Lansdale Borough residents who wish to conduct Craigslist transactions and/or transactions from other online markets.
Preferred hours for transactions are during daylight hours and sellers/buyers should reconsider conducting business with anyone who refuses to meet near a police station.
Chief McDyre – “We have all seen the news accounts from around the country involving the violence and fraud that can occur during these interactions. Most people don’t feel comfortable meeting at their homes and going to a park or parking lot can also be dangerous. Our residents’ safety is our top priority and our parking lot, which has video surveillance, is available for them to conduct their transactions.”
