Police are investigating after a pair of break-ins at local convenience stores. Washington County 9-1-1 tells us that police responded after an alarm sounded at the Gabby Food Mart along Pike Street around 12:30 a.m. The store is right across the street from the Chartiers Township Municipal Building. About thirty minutes later, South Strabane Township police were called to the Get-Go store in Strabane Square for a report of a similar break-in. South Strabane Township Police Chief Drew Hilk says “unknown actors forced entry to the closed store and stole and undetermined amount of cash and merchandise”. According to Hilk, the investigation includes checking surveillance cameras from area businesses. No other information is being released at this time.
