CHAMBERSBURG – Officers from the Chambersburg Police Department, the Pennsylvania State Police- Chambersburg Station and the Franklin County Drug Task Force conducted directed enforcement patrols in the borough on Wednesday, April 2.
These patrols are intended to protect the people in the community from those who break the law, police said. “As most residents know, some subjects have made a concerted effort to harm while acting recklessly against others in the borough,” officers reported. “This behavior affects all of us, not only the intended victims. It places our community in fear. Our borough has no place for it, and we tackled it head-on.”
Chambersburg police, partners in PSP and other members of Chambersburg’s law enforcement team focused efforts “those whose desire and intent is to harm our Chambersburg community and never our law-abiding citizens who work hard every day to provide for their families and community,” police said.
As a result of these patrols, 60 traffic stops were conducted, resulting in numerous citations and warnings issued, four misdemeanor drug arrests, three arrest warrants served, one misdemeanor arrest for display of fraudulent registration plates and one arrest for possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance.
