Lower Merion police say two suspects are in custody and a third remains on the run after an attempted home breakin Thursday afternoon on the 2000 block of Old Gulph Road.<\/p>\n
Police said a resident called to report the attempted burglary, prompting officers to respond.<\/p>\n
As officers arrived, three suspects fled the area in a blue pickup truck.<\/p>\n
According to Superintendent Andy Block, officers spotted the vehicle on Montgomery Avenue and followed it until the chase ended on Tenmore Road.<\/p>\n
“All three exited the vehicle and fled on foot. Multiple witnesses in the area saw this and provided up-to-date information,” Block said.<\/p>\n
He added that the suspects “had hoodies on initially and they were shedding the hoodies. They were down in white T-shirts and white colored shorts.”<\/p>\n
Police said two suspects were quickly apprehended, while the third – believed to be in his 20s – ran toward The Haverford School.<\/p>\n
The school was placed on lockdown as a precaution. Radnor and Haverford police assisted in the search, and the suspects’ truck was towed from the scene.<\/p>\n
Block said there is “no risk to the public as far as we’re concerned.”<\/p>\n
Nearby business owner Keo Chea, who runs Lily and Oak Wellness Spa, said the incident was unsettling.<\/p>\n
“Shaken up as a business owner, as a new business owner in the area, where we hardly see any action,” she said. “I’m very reassured that I saw so many police here for something as scary as burglary in broad daylight. I’m shocked that would even happen here in this community because it’s always so safe.”<\/p>\n
Police continue searching for the third suspect and are asking residents to report any relevant information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lower Merion police say two suspects are in custody and a third remains on the run after an…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":271250,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[114195,45677,4810,183,185,184,2248,186],"class_list":["post-271249","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-lower-merion","tag-andy-block","tag-attempted-burglary","tag-business-owner","tag-lower-merion","tag-lower-merion-headlines","tag-lower-merion-news","tag-lower-merion-police","tag-lower-merion-township"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271249","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=271249"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/271249\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/271250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=271249"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=271249"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=271249"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
