The Bensalem Township Police Department has taken to social media to alert the public about its latest efforts to apprise the community of individuals with active warrants. In a recent post on their official Facebook page, the department announced a weekly update designed to keep residents informed and assist law enforcement in locating wanted individuals. Should anyone have information regarding the whereabouts of any subjects listed, they've provided a number to call with the assurance of anonymity. The list of warrants and further details can be viewed on the Bensalem Police Department's Facebook page.
According to the announcement, the Bensalem Police warn the public not to approach or attempt to detain any individuals they recognize from the list. Instead, the police stress that it is crucial to dial 9-1-1 immediately and provide the dispatcher with the person's name and their location. It's important to note that the individuals on the list may have already been apprehended on their respective active warrants, and as such, the police department will confirm the status of the warrant prior to any action.
