A stolen SUV and a $2,500 shopping spree
Pennsylvania State Police are investigating a bizarre robbery. A man managed to make off with around $2,500 worth of tools from a York County Harbor Freight. Authorities say he arrived at the tool store on East Forrest Avenue in Shrewsbury Township at 10:30 one morning. Then he stole over a dozen high-end tools. They thought they had him when they ran his plates—but it turns out the black 2024 Honda CR-V he was driving had been reported stolen in Maryland. The PSP are still investigating.
