Police Investigating Another Home Burglary in Birdland

Scott Township police are investigating another burglary in the Birdland neighborhood.

Police said a resident returned home from vacation on Jan. 10 to find their home in the 1400 block of Raven Drive was burglarized.

It is not know when the burglary happened, police said, because the resident apparently was away from New Year’s Day until Jan. 10. Police did not say what, if anything, was taken from the home.

Investigators are not sure if the break-in is related to two burglaries on Meadowlark Drive last week. Grant Goeckeler, 29, of Scott, and Brian Butt, 27, of Bridgeville, were charged in connection with those burglaries.

Bridgeville police also arrested them men recently in connection with the theft of a generator worth $300 from a borough property on Dec. 27.
