Father, Son Charged In Robbery Spree
MEDIA, Pa. (AP) ―
Authorities say a father and son are charged in 72 burglaries in suburban Philadelphia that happened between September and January.
The 41-year-old father from Akron, Lancaster County, is accused of breaking into homes along with his 20-year-old son from the Philadelphia suburb of Clifton Heights. Police said Thursday that they broke into homes when most people are at work and stole valuables that they pawned or traded for heroin.
Police say a third man is considered a person of interest in the burglaries in Delaware, Montgomery, Bucks and Chester counties.
