Goods for Guns nabs 338 guns

Thank you to all of those who helped share the word about this event and helped make it a success.  Residents are urged to continue working with police by providing information and to assist the police with arrests of anyone involved with illicit activity, the sale of drugs or possession of guns.  To report illegal activity, residents can call the confidential tip line at 610-447-7810 or fill out a postmarked “crime card” available for pick-up at City Hall, the police station and J. Lewis Crozer Library, with any information regarding criminal behavior or the whereabouts of guns.
