(McKEAN COUNTY, Pennsylvania: June 6, 2024):  District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer reports that an investigation into a bank robbery is in progress. 

The suspect has been taken into custody and there is no danger to the community. 

Earlier today, officers were alerted to be on the lookout for a stolen vehicle out of NY.  Subsequently, they were notified that an Eldred bank had been robbed and the vehicle description given by witnesses matched the description of the stolen vehicle earlier reported. 

An Officer observed the vehicle and attempted a traffic stop. The vehicle refused to stop and led police on a high-speed chase before crashing the vehicle near Rew Hill. 

Officers with Smethport, Port Allegany, Pennsylvania State Police, Bradford City Police, Foster Township Police, and Bradford Township Police responded along with City of Bradford Fire and Ambulance crew and the City K9.  The investigation is ongoing by the Pennsylvania State Police.

Once Upon A Crime, The Trial of Goldilocks, by Robert Chauls and Joseph Robinette opens on Thursday, June 13th at 7:00pm at The Warehouse Theatre in Wellsboro. Directed by Titus Himmelberger, the story is a family-friendly romp through the aftermath of Goldilocks’ intrusion into the bears’ home as told in the classic tale, Goldilocks and the Three Bears. In the show, Goldilocks is prosecuted for breaking and entering, and the fairytale testimony takes the audience on hysterical twists and turns with all of our favorite characters offering their version of the story.
