• Lucatelli's Pizzeria Coming To Jenkintown (patch.com) — Abington-area pizza fans will soon have a new option nearby as Lucatelli's Pizzeria prepares to open its first Montgomery County location in Jenkintown. The Bucks County favorite, known for its 72-hour fermented dough, specialty Grandma pies, and award-winning cheesesteaks, has not announced an opening date yet but says it is taking extra time to ensure a strong debut.
• Man sentenced for gunpoint robbery of Abington credit union (glensidelocal.com) — A Philadelphia man has been sentenced to more than 15 years in prison for a gunpoint robbery at the American Heritage Credit Union on Old York Road in Abington and a dangerous police chase that ended in a crash with an Abington police vehicle. The case, investigated by Abington Township Police and the FBI, highlights how a straw-purchased handgun and a stolen car were used, with a co-defendant's sentencing still to come.
