Suspects Fired Pellet Gun At Other Juveniles In Bensalem: PD

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA — The Bensalem Township Police Department has identified the suspects who fired a pellet gun at juveniles this past weekend.

Bensalem Police identified four juveniles from outside the township who they say shot projectiles from a pellet gun that struck other juveniles at 7:08 p.m. Saturday in the township's Neshaminy Valley section.

Police said an investigation revealed that the four juveniles were traveling in a dark-colored Honda Pilot and firing an Orbeez gun at another group of juveniles.

The two groups were not known to one another, and the incident appears to have been random.

Police said the juvenile victims suffered minor injuries from the incident.

With the assistance of surveillance footage provided by residents, intersection cameras, and license plate readers, police identified the juveniles involved and contacted their parents, who fully cooperated with the investigation.

The juveniles will be charged accordingly, police said.
