Burglaries Ban Residents Together on Facebook Town Watch Group

NEWTOWN SQUARE–The recent rash of burglaries around town has created a stir–shaking up residents and business owners alike.

Although the caught around and earlier this month, burglaries are still found to be continuing around the area. On March 1, an attempted burglary was reported on the 100 block of Brookside Road.

Now residents are banning together–online. With the help of Facebook, Newtown Square resident Mark Walsh has set up a Facebook group called "Newtown Square Town Watch."

The group is open to the general Facebook community but those wishing to join the group must request an invite to join.

The Newtown Square Town Watch Facebook group info states:

"With all the recent burglaries in town let's all team up together and keep each other informed. It seems as if over the past week there has been a lot of different information floating around and no one seems to know the exact information. Please feel free to add anyone from Newtown Square please try to keep it to only people that live in Newtown. Let's also see if we can get Newtown PD to join in on this and keep the people of town up to date on what is going on. Thanks for all the help with this."

There are currently 113 members in the group.
