'Suspicious Activity' Reported at Pretzel Park in Manayunk

MANAYUNK, PA -- Local residents have reported suspicious activity at Pretzel Park in Manayunk over the past few weeks.

A Facebook post from the Manayunk Neighborhood Council first reported the recent incidents. The incidents involve men using lock picking tools on cars in the area.

"Over the past month, I've seen suspicious activity near Pretzel Park (Cresson and Rector St.)," one resident wrote. "Midday, I saw a group of three early twenties men using a lock picking tool (slim jim) on a car. A few days later, I saw an overweight middle aged man wearing a white coat and white hat also using the same type of tool on a car around 6pm under the bridge."

Of course, lock picking tools are also used to open cars in which the keys have been locked inside.

No incidents of crime have been reported in the area recently.

If you notice suspicious activity or something doesn't seem right, contact local police or call 911.
