🚨 Attempted abduction alleged in Warrington
Warrington Police are investigating an alleged attempted abduction of a female high school student last week.
The incident occurred around 6:30 a.m. last Monday in the Willow Knoll section of the township. The victim, an 18-year-old, said a masked man jumped out of a truck and tried to grab her as she was walking to her school bus. She managed to free herself and kicked the man before running and hiding; the truck was driven by another man and then left the scene. Cops have asked nearby residents to review any security camera footage they may have.
Also: A juvenile who threatened to harm himself was located this week after a significant search effort by local, county and state law enforcement.
The Central Bucks Regional, Doylestown and New Britain Police were among the agencies involved in the operation. A State Police drone, helicopter and K9 unit were also utilized. The search began around 8:30 a.m. yesterday. The juvenile was located a little after 11 a.m.

🐶 Rescue Dog of the Week
James Short | Central Bucks Now
Meet Jewel, a two-year-old Labrador Retriever being fostered through Home At Last Dog Rescue.
She made her way to the area from South Carolina and is the perfect mix of medium energy and love. Jewel loves to meet new people, walks well on a leash and is crate- and house-trained. She does great with other dogs and would fit well in a home with older kids.
If you are interested in adopting Jewel or would like more information, you can reach out to Home At Last Dog Rescue at [email protected] or visit the group's website.
