Bensalem Police Start August With 13 Arrests
Township Police announced 13 arrests from August 2nd through August 8th, restating their commitment to a zero-tolerance policy towards “retail thefts and will arrest anyone detained or identified as committing these crimes”.
In this week’s roundup, we meet a couple of kids (15 and 16 years old) from Brooklyn, NY who teamed up with Fayzullo Turdaliev of Oakdale, PA to steal almost $1,000.00 worth of items from Target. A 13-year-old from Holland, PA who thought it would be a good idea to steal over $100.00 worth of stuff from the same Target. And let’s not forget Zeeshan Ahmed from Brooklyn, NY looking to walk out of Home Depot with over $800.00 worth of goods.
Ahmed also had a Warrant out for his arrest for stealing $2000.00 from Home Depot just last month. He was our long-distance thieving grand prize winner on July 29th. It’s good to see he’ll be getting his reward.
The department will post a list of people arrested for Retail Theft and related charges in Bensalem Township each week.
The Bensalem Township Police Department, in partnership with the Bensalem Township Economic Development Corporation and local business owners, has launched Bensalem Secure. Bensalem Secure is a multifaceted approach to reducing retail theft in the township and beyond.
