Today's riddle: What do you call a belt that is made of watches? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 3 charged in West Pittston social media robbery (citizensvoice.com) — A West Pittston man was allegedly robbed at gunpoint in his home after a social media dating meetup, and three Wilkes-Barre residents now face robbery and related charges. Police say the same trio is also tied to a separate Fairview Township burglary, with license-plate camera footage helping investigators connect the cases.
• HS ROUNDUP: Dallas, Holy Redeemer bring home WVC golf titles (citizensvoice.com) — Pittston Area golfers Gianni Bartorillo and Ryan Noone helped their team reach the District 2 championships despite a title loss to Dallas, while other Patriots squads were busy across the region. A packed local sports slate also saw Wyoming Area tennis advance in district play, Crestwood and Wyoming Area notch key field hockey wins, and several soccer teams post lopsided victories.
• Luzerne County Council OKs rail sale to Reading and Northern (psdispatch.com) — Luzerne County Council has approved selling its rail line to Reading and Northern Railroad, paving the way for more freight service and expanded passenger excursions linked to Pittston. Officials say the plan could boost events like the Pittston Tomato Festival, connect Wilkes-Barre to the Pittston depot, and preserve trail corridors, though some communities worry about local tax impacts.
