Previous post:
On August 26th 2021 at approximately 01:00AM the Middletown Borough Police were notified of a red vehicle driving down North Pine Street in the Borough breaking car windows with a baseball bat. Police were able to locate the vehicle and apprehend 3 individuals but unfortunately not before damage was done to at-least 30 vehicles. It appears the incident was isolated from North Pine Street east to Hoffer Street and from Main Street south to Emaus Street. If you live in that area please check your vehicles for damage. We suspect there will be more damage to vehicles and want everyone to report their damage. If you have damage to your vehicle from this incident please contact the Middletown Borough Police at 717-902-0627 or the Non-Emergency Line at 717-558-6900.
