Two teens accused of committing multiple crimes
On April 26, around 5:00 a.m., state police say they were called to Fairview Circle in Chestnuthill Township, for the report of a house window being shot at sometime overnight. Two people were home when the shooting occurred.
Throughout the morning, several incidents were reported to state police that were similar to the shooting and close in proximity.
LAPP Structures, an outdoor shed dealer on Route 209 in Chestnuthill Township, was reportedly burglarized. Police stated the main office was 'in complete disarray' with items 'destroyed and thrown.' Remnants of fired fireworks were seen, with black gun powder covering the floor, officers said.
Troopers said they were then called to the Bright Fuel gas station on Route 209 for a burglary report. Surveillance video allegedly showed two individuals attempting to get into the gas station and burglarizing a camper behind the building.
Search warrant served, Hazleton Police investigating burned body
After reviewing the video, troopers identified one of the suspects as a 16-year-old boy whom they knew from prior police incidents. A second burglary at West End Tobacco and Vape, on Route 209, was reported, and surveillance showed the same two suspects from the previous incidents.
The second suspect was identified as a 17-year-old boy who had a pistol and shot multiple rounds through the front window of the store. The juveniles then climbed inside, took several items, including nicotine vapes, THC products, and other items for purchase, police reported.
The 16-year-old suspect was later interviewed and admitted to police that he was part of the incident with the 17-year-old and that the two of them walked towards the West End Fairgrounds and fired 40 rounds of ammunition in different directions, according to District Attorney Mike Mancuso.
Police say the teen also admitted that the two vandalized Dunkelberger's Sports Outfitters floor tent, took a fire extinguisher, and sprayed the tent and several potted plants.
The District Attorney's office approved several search warrants and charges against the two teens. One suspect was taken to a detention center awaiting a detention hearing, and both will appear at the juvenile court system in the near future.

Investigators: THC vape cartridges delivered to home; Scranton man arrested
A Scranton man was arrested July 3 after police tracked a package containing 500 THC vape cartridges to a local residence, according to the criminal complaint. During the month of July, investigators from the Lackawanna County district attorney's office, State Police Troop R Vice Unit and the Scranton Police Department Street Crimes Unit received a tip about illegal controlled substances being delivered to a local residence via delivery service and established surveillance there. At about 3:30 p.m. July 3, investigators spotted a UPS driver dropping off at package at the suspect address. Shortly afterward a red Toyota Prius pulled up and parked near the residence. According to the complaint: The driver, later identified as Benny Centeno, 25, got out of the vehicle with a backpack and entered the residence. A short time later, Centeno, of 831 Beech St., left the residence with the backpack visibly heavier and drove east on Delaware Street. The windows on the sedan were illegally tinted, and, given the corroborating information, investigators moved in to conduct a traffic stop on the vehicle near the intersection of Madison Avenue and Delaware Street. After Centeno was arrested, he told officers there were marijuana vape cartridges inside the vehicle and gave them permission to search. Investigators found five boxes, each containing 100 THC cartridges inside the vehicle. Centeno faces a felony charge of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, as well as misdemeanor charges of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 9:15 a.m. on July 17 before District Judge Paul Keeler. Centeno remains at Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $25,000 bail.
