Police report notes uptick in vehicle thefts; borough to follow up on EV charger outage
Summary
The police chief reported multiple vehicle-theft reports (some civil-process related; a few true thefts) with recovered cars but not keys, and staff said they will follow up with the vendor to repair an EV charger reported out of service on the 200 block.
In departmental reports the chief told the committee the borough had multiple reports of vehicle thefts. Several incidents appeared tied to civil processes (owners retained keys) but the chief said a couple were confirmed thefts. Investigators suspect vehicles taken for service may have had keys duplicated or otherwise accessed afterwards; vehicles have been recovered but keys have not.
Chair also reported the EV charger on the 200 block was reported nonfunctional about a week earlier; staff said they will follow up with Jeff and the vendor to arrange inspection and repair.
No formal action was taken; staff will follow up with the vendor on EV-charger repairs and the police will continue investigating the theft reports.
