2 Charged In Theft At Bensalem Trucking Depot

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA — Two men are in custody after they were charged with theft for breaking into a truck depot and stealing merchandise in some trailers, police said.

Bensalem Police charged 43-year-old Anthony Michael Miller and 43-year-old Jacoby Crawford with theft and related offenses.

Last Monday, the Bensalem Township Police Department responded to Penn Jersey Trucking Depot at 2700 State Road for the report of a theft from a tractor-trailer.

Police said the suspects broke into two tractor-trailers and removed multiple boxes of merchandise from one of the trailers.

Video surveillance from the trucking depot captured the incident, and through the utilization of township Intersection Cameras and License Plate Readers (LPRs), police identified a gold-colored Chrysler Town & Country displaying a paper tag.

On Thursday, police were alerted by the LPR system that the suspect's Chrysler had entered the township. The vehicle was stopped by police in the area of Marwin Avenue.

Another vehicle traveling with the Chrysler, a Honda Accord, fled at a high rate of speed onto Interstate 95.

Police were able to stop that vehicle on northbound Interstate 95 in the area of the Bristol Township exit.

Miller and Crawford were arraigned by Magisterial District Judge Michael Gallagher, who set bail at 10 percent of $150,000 for each.

Both were sent to the Bucks County Correctional Facility.
