Police Report 6/16 - 6/22

Warm summer evenings enticed some juveniles to violate the curfew. A different curfew, this one a condition of state parole, was violated by a parolee. The concession stand at the pool was damaged, and money and candy bars were stolen. A township resident complained of loud music on the Square. Stolen jewelry was reported returned.

These and other matters occupied the attention of Port Allegany Police in the week that began Monday, June 16 and continued into the wee small hours of June 23.
