According to Pottsville Police Chief Richard Wojciechowsky, "A large amount of us have been involved in this investigation at one point or another and, most recently Captain Kirk Becker and Sgt. Mark O’Toole worked closely with the PA Attorney General’s office to earn a grand jury indictment and subsequent arrest warrants. We are very thankful to the AG’s office for collaborating with us during this process for a case that remained open and active until solved."
Wojciechowsky says State Agents are actively attempting to serve the arrest warrant on Tran and anyone with information on his current location is asked to call his/her local law enforcement agency.
