SPRINGFIELD, PA – Springfield Township Police issued their latest crime blotter on Monday, May 21.

The report covers incidents that occurred between May 15 and May 19.

Notable incidents include lawn signs stolen, a stolen wallet, disorderly conduct, and more.

• May 15, 2:26 p.m. An employee doing construction at the old Long Horn Steakhouse property, 1000 block Baltimore Pike, reported his extension ladder stolen from the site. The ladder was valued at $300.
• May 16, 11 a.m. A victim reported that sometime on May 12 his wallet was stolen from his parked vehicle in the rear lot of Springfield Mall. He later learned that credit cards from the wallet had been used to purchase numerous items totaling over $112.
• May 16, 5:08 a.m. Target at the mall security reported observing a female inside the store selecting clothing and jewelry and concealing the items inside a shopping bag and her purse. The female then attempted to leave and was stopped by security. She was identified as Jydasia Chavis, 18, of Folcroft. She was transported to headquarters, charged with retail theft and taken to arraignment at Springfield Court.
• May 16, 5:29 p.m. An employee of the Craft Beer Store reported a male subject had been inside the store smoking one of the store’s cigars and watching a game on TV. When the male paid for the cigar, his debit card was denied. The male was asked to leave the store and began to act disorderly and pushed an employee on his way out and walked away from the store. Unfortunately for this person, he dropped his wallet on the way out which contained identification. This will maybe be one of the easier cases for our Detectives to follow up.
• May 17, 1:41 p.m. A resident of the 900 block of Joseph Place reported that sometime between May 7 and May 10 someone pulled out his support police signs and his pro-Republican party signs from his front lawn. On May 17 he found several pizza boxes placed on his front lawn. We don’t mean to get political, but we don’t like when someone messes with support police signs.
