Crime in your area

This website will take you to the Pennsylvania State Police's online crime database. It is actually fascinating to look at - you can view crime in your hometown.

Out of curiosity, I ran the stats for Alburits, Coopersburg, Hellertown and Macungie. In 2007, here's what I got:

Alburtis - one burglary, two larcenies, two vandalism, one DUI and two disorderly conducts.
Coopersburg - two larcenies, 26 vandalism, one weapons charge, three DUIs, one liquor law violation, one case of public drunkenness, one disorderly conduct and three miscellaneous offenses.
Hellertown - two assaults, eight larcenies, one forgery, five frauds, 25 vandalism, four drug possessions, five DUIs, two public drunkenness, two disorderly conduct and three miscellaneous offenses.
Macungie - two larcenies, two drug possessions, seven DUIs, three disorderly conducts and four miscellaneous offenses.

Clearly, and thankfully, none of our communities are exactly criminal hotbeds.

Lynn Township Lehigh County is not listed in their crime database. Guess we dont have any crime. Excuse me then if Rendell comes to us for reimbursement for police services (wink)
