Great job by the CPD and a big shout out and thank you to the crime prevention aware citizen who saw something suspicious and called 911 - As good as our PD is they can not do their job without the support and involvement of the entire community.

Good thing he wasn't seriously hurt, the PD can't afford to lose anyone else. They are already running on fumes, and this committee has no back-up plan. Perhaps we can start paying Moorestown or Maple Shade to Patrol our streets.
