Police in Northampton County say they busted a marijuana grow house in Lower Mount Bethel Township.
State Police in Belfast say a tip call led them to the marijuana manufacturing operation at a house in the 8000 block of Rasley Hill Road around 11:30 a.m. Thursday.
Police say upon further investigation they found 16 marijuana plants inside the residence, along with paraphernalia to grow and cultivate the drug.
Evidence was taken from the scene, and 23-year-old Tyler Fritsch is being charged in connection to the grow house.
According to police, this is an ongoing investigation.
Some towns in New York's Southern Tier are raising the idea of seceding to Pennsylvania.
Conklin Supervisor Jim Finch and other local officials talking about redrawing the Keystone State's border don't really expect it to happen. But members of the Upstate New York Towns Association hope the idea will result in something good for a struggling part of the state.
New York's Southern Tier sits atop the same gas-rich Marcellus Shale formation that has allowed Pennsylvania and other states to ride the fracking boom. In December, the Cuomo administration said it planned to ban hydraulic fracturing based on potential health risks from the drilling practice and overstated economic benefits.
Many in the Southern Tier saw it as another instance of New York City's liberal desires trumping upstate needs.
Bangor Police say a gas station was robbed at knife-point Friday night.
The incident happened around 10:45 p.m. at the Valero gas station on South 1st Street in Bangor.
According to police, a suspect entered the gas station, robbed it at knife-point and fled on foot with an undetermined amount of money.
Police say the suspect is described as a thin white male, standing five-foot-six-inches, wearing a blue hoodie, jeans, black and white sneakers, gloves and a knitted face mask.
An area search was conducted by local police, but no arrests were made.
No injuries were reported in the robbery. Police say the incident is still under investigation.
Anyone with information is asked to call Bangor Police.
Here's a look back at the stories that made headlines this week in the 69 News "Week in Review."
Monday: Police in Lehigh County shot and killed a man who allegedly stabbed his ex-girlfriend and a police officer who was pursuing him.
Authorities said 42-year-old Jerome Nichols of Catasauqua stabbed his ex-girlfriend during a home invasion in Whitehall Township.
Police said Nichols then led them on a chase into Allentown.
Authorities said police opened fire after Nichols stabbed a cop multiple times.
Both stab victims are recovering and Pennsylvania State Police are investigating.
Tuesday: A fire forced the Allentown School District to close one of its elementary schools.
The fire started around 7 a.m. at Cleveland Elementary before students arrived.
Officials said the fire started in the prep room and was accidental.
The district made alternate arrangements for students at other schools while repair work is completed.
Wednesday: Governor Tom Wolf made his first Lehigh Valley stop since taking the oath of office.
During a visit to SteelStacks in Bethlehem, Wolf outlined his plan to cut the corporate net income tax in half in two years.
He also called for the elimination of the capital stock and franchise tax by January of next year.
Governor Wolf said these plans would grow businesses and keep professionals in the state.
All of the proposals still need to be approved by lawmakers.
Thursday: The Pennsylvania House of Representatives voted to privatize the state-run wine and liquor system.
The Republican-backed bill will now go to the Senate for consideration, and that's where this latest privatization effort may end.
A similar bill failed in the Senate two years ago, and Governor Tom Wolf said he plans to veto the bill if it reaches his desk.
Friday: An administrative hearing began for a Warren County, New Jersey police chief accused of insubordination.
Greenwich Township officials claim Police Chief Rich Hummer didn't follow a settlement agreement when it came to placing a fired officer back on the force.
The hearing is continued until next week, where Chief Hummer is expected to testify.
A judge has ruled that a man is competent to stand trial in the shooting deaths of three people at a municipal meeting in the Poconos.
Judge Joseph Cronin denied a defense request that he find 60-year-old Rockne Newell unfit for trial in Monroe County and send him to a mental health facility for treatment.
Defense attorneys say Newell has a long history of mental illness and refuses to discuss what happened at the August 2013 supervisors' meeting in Ross Township.
But the judge ruled that Newell's refusal to cooperate with his attorneys stems from his choice rather than an inability to do so.
Authorities allege that Newell shot three people to death at the meeting and wounded a fourth person because he was upset after losing his property.
Tenants of the Sherwood Pine apartments in Bethlehem say they've been trying to get through the brutally cold winter with little heat and no hot water.
While management doesn't deny there have been problems with heating and hot water, they say maintenance is addressing it.
More than a dozen residents, however, say they're not convinced and say they've been forced to spend this winter in the cold.
"No heat, no hot water. That's one of the biggest issues because there is a lot of elderly people here," said one woman who did not want to be identified.
Reached by telephone, the acting property manager said some of the systems have been tested this winter and even admitted some apartments have gone without heat or hot water.
Gary Rieder said space heaters are provided and hotel rooms have been offered to residents dealing with those issues.
In a statement emailed to 69 News, Rieder said, "We at Sherwood Winding LLC feel terrible that some of our tenants were affected by the extremely cold, frigid weather that stressed our heating systems. Unfortunately, it at times resulted in a temporary lack of heat to some apartments. We have always dispatched technicians and contractors immediately to address a tenant experiencing trouble with his heat. We also supply the tenant with two space heaters that were approved for safety by the Bethlehem Fire Department. In many instances, we offer tenants the option of putting them up in a hotel until the heat is restored, and some tenants have taken us up on the offer. We will continue to be vigilant and have instituted a special rapid response team due to the extreme and severe winter we are experiencing."
Regardless, residents who spoke to 69 News said more needs to be done to fix the underlying issues.
"Either you fix it or you give people the money so they can move. Don't keep saying you're going to do something and you're not," said a resident.
