Phone scam

The Pennsylvania State Police is advising the public of a new phone scam in which callers inform victims their relatives are in danger.

After saying the relatives have either been taken hostage or involved in minor accidents, the callers say the victims must pay $2,000 or their relatives will be harmed, police said.

The caller also possesses some background information on the victim, police said.

These phone calls are typically placed from outside the area or country, but display local numbers, police said.

The police are asking the public to be aware of this and other scams throughout the year, and they are encouraging citizens to be mindful of their personal information and to be careful giving information over phone.

Those who have received these phone calls are asked to report them to their local police.

Children injured

Minor injuries were reported in a one-vehicle accident at 3:45 a.m. Dec. 3 on Shotgun Hollow Road, eight-tenths of a mile west of Herman Road in Burlington Township, said state police at Towanda.

Police said Tiffany Lee Space, 24, of Ulster, who was not injured in the crash, was traveling east on Shotgun Hollow Road, and lost control of her 1997 Ford Explorer while crossing an icy bridge and traveling on a left curve in the roadway. It went through the west travel lane and struck a guardrail at the end of the bridge. According to police, the vehicle had functional damage to the front-end area and was driven from the scene. Police said a 5-year-old boy and a 3-year-old boy, both from Ulster, who were passengers, had minor injuries and were taken to Memorial Hospital in Towanda for a medical evaluation.

Charges were filed against the driver in District Court 42-3-03, police said.

Window smashed

State police at Towanda said someone smashed a window at a business between Nov. 29 and Nov. 30 on Leona Road in Troy Township.

Police did not identify the business.

No injuries reported

State police at Towanda said a one-vehicle crash with no injuries occurred at 4:50 a.m. Nov. 26 on Route 414 in Leroy Township.

Police provided no identifying information about the driver, only saying that a Ford F-150 was traveling west at approximately 45 mph and the driver lost control, due to the road being snow-covered. According to police, the vehicle then spun 180 degrees on the road, causing the front of the vehicle to face east. It then continued to slide off the southern side of the road, crossing over the eastbound lane of travel. Immediately after leaving the roadway, it rolled onto its passenger side. Canton Auto Body assisted by pulling the vehicle back onto its tires, and it was driven away from the scene.

Women charged

State police at Towanda said two Troy women were charged with false reports Nov. 27 after it was found that they lied about a crash investigation at 4:31 p.m. Nov. 10 on Leona Road in Springfield Township.

Police said Anna Jaeckel, no age given, of Troy, and Andrea Smith, no age given, of Troy reported that Jaeckel's vehicle was struck by a vehicle that Tracy Harrison, no age or address given, was operating, and she fled the scene. As a result of the investigation, it was determined that Jaeckel and Smith lied about the crash investigation, police said.

Minor injury reported

State police at Towanda said that Amanda Vogel, 25, of Columbia Cross Roads, had a minor injury in a one-vehicle crash Nov. 15 on Route 14 in Columbia Township.

Police said she was traveling south in the right travel lane at approximately 45 mph, and struck a deer with the front end area of her Nissan Cube. After colliding with the deer, the vehicle began to malfunction due to the impact and she pulled onto the southern berm in front of Keleher's Garage, police said.

Duffle bag found

State police at Towanda said a duffle bag was found at 12:39 p.m. Nov. 20 on Porter Road, one-fourth of a mile from Route 6, in Troy Township.

Anyone who may have lost the bag and the contents is asked to contact state police at Towanda.

Burglary investigated

State police at Towanda said they are investigating a burglary that took place sometime between 6 p.m. Nov. 19 and 8 a.m. Nov. 21 at the Old Mill Church on Route 6 in West Burlington Township, but no suspects can be linked to the investigation at this time.

Anyone with information is asked to contact state police at Towanda at (570) 265-2186.

One injured in crash

Police said Faust was traveling at a speed excessive for the roadway characteristics, and negotiated a right hand turn prior to skidding 181 feet and colliding with Hauke's vehicle, which was attempting to turn left into a private driveway. Faust's vehicle spun in a clockwise direction and came to final rest facing north in the travel lane of Leona Road and the other vehicle spun in a clockwise direction, prior to coming to final rest on western berm of Leona Road. Police said Faust had an injury of unknown severity. He was charged with careless driving, police said.
