WYOMISSING, PA — Wyomissing Police responded to more than 40 calls for service over a two-day period this week, handling a wide range of incidents that included traffic crashes, alleged thefts, emergency calls, and the arrest of a wanted individual, according to departmental activity reports.
Police activity on Tuesday, December 10, and Wednesday, December 11, reflected a steady operational tempo across residential neighborhoods, commercial corridors, and major roadways, including Routes 222 and 422 .
Among the more serious matters, officers on December 11 responded to a trespassing report along State Hill Road involving a male who had previously been barred from the property. Police allege the individual initially provided a false name but was later identified and found to have an active probation warrant. He was taken into custody and transported to central processing. Any suspect, arrestee, or defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Traffic incidents accounted for a significant portion of police activity. Officers investigated multiple reportable and non-reportable crashes, including a three-vehicle collision on Route 222 near Crossing Drive in which two vehicles reportedly left the scene, and a four-vehicle crash on Route 422 that resulted in hospital transport for at least one occupant and a vehicle tow. Several additional accidents resulted in minor injuries or no injuries at all.
Police also responded to repeated reports of reckless driving on Routes 422 and 222, though officers were unable to locate the reported vehicles in some cases. Numerous traffic stops resulted in warnings for violations including speeding, running red lights, driving without headlights, and using a mobile phone while driving.
The department handled several theft-related investigations over the two days. Police documented an alleged oil theft valued at approximately $280, a reported theft of two packages from a residence on Wellington Boulevard, and information related to vehicle repossessions. These cases remain under investigation.
Emergency response calls included multiple automatic fire alarms and burglar alarms, most of which were determined to be false activations or handled by the fire department without further police action. Officers also responded to several 911 hang-up calls, all of which were ultimately determined to be accidental or unfounded.
Additional calls involved suspicious activity reports, a welfare check requested due to concerns stemming from prior domestic incidents, a disabled tractor trailer that required mechanical assistance, and a reported natural gas odor that fire officials were unable to confirm.
Police also attempted to serve protection-from-abuse orders on multiple occasions, though officers were unable to make contact in those instances.
In total, police recorded 26 incidents on December 10 and 17 incidents on December 11, reflecting the breadth of routine enforcement, investigative work, and emergency response handled by the department over the two-day period .
Authorities emphasized that police activity logs document initial reports and responses and that investigations may continue as additional information becomes available.
