'Suspicious' Letters Investigated By Newtown Township Police

NEWTOWN, PA — Newtown Township Police are investigating "suspicious" letters that were delivered by the U.S. postal service to two separate local businesses.

Both letters sought the donation of funds to a specific cause, and threatened harm to the establishment for failure to comply, police said. The name of the cause was not released by police, due to the nature of the ongoing investigation.

Both incidents are under investigation by the Newtown Township Police and U.S. Postal authorities in cooperation with the District Attorney’s office.

Police are asking any Newtown or Wrightstown businesses receiving suspicious correspondence to immediately report it to them.

"Fear and Intimidation has no place within the community of Newtown and Wrightstown townships and a thorough and complete investigation will be undertaken to attempt to identify and arrest the offenders of this situation," police said.
