Theft from display
THARPTOWN - Township police are investigating the theft of $30 from a donation box at the Christmas display in Tharptown during a power outage Tuesday night.
Money in the donation box supports the annual display set up by Tharptown resident Jared Dunn and his family. The display, which was vandalized last month, features 110 wooden decorations, 325 plastic figures and thousands of lights.
The power outage is believed caused by a fire that destroyed one home and heavily damaged two others in the 900 block of West Mulberry Street, Coal Township.
Anyone with information about the theft is urged to call Coal Township police at 644-0333.
