🚨 Beware of ‘bad tows’ trend
Bucks County District Attorney’s Office
The Bucks County District Attorney's Office has issued a formal warning about a rise in tow truck scams — when dishonest operators seek to exploit vulnerable drivers after accidents or breakdowns with inflated fees and unnecessary services.
Authorities said a tow truck’s unsolicited arrival at an accident scene is a strong indicator of fraud. Officials said these operators often listen to police scanners and chase crashes. The DA’s office said police typically dispatch legitimate towing services and to check with cops if unsure. Drivers are also advised to scrutinize paperwork and identify the towing services. More information can be found via the state here.

🐶 Rescue Dog of the Week
James Short | Central Bucks Now
Meet Henderson, a two-year-old hound mix currently being fostered through Home At Last Dog Rescue after being rescued in South Carolina. Henderson is great with kids, gets along well with other dogs and is very routine-oriented. He can take some time to warm up to new people. He is crate- and house-trained, but could use some work on the leash. He would fit best with an active family or home that enjoys the outdoors.
If you are interested in adopting Henderson or would like more information, you can reach out to Home At Last Dog Rescue at [email protected] or visit the group's website.
