Zipovsky said "This investigation would not have been possible without the keen observations of the public, who provided us with the information that helped the police to identify the problem and remove it from their neighborhood. Although two of the offenders are in custody, a third is still out on the streets. The Mahanoy City Police Department continues its dauntless efforts that make a safer community."
