Philadelphia Police are now investigating after a man bound and robbed during a home invasion that took place in the Germantown section of Philadelphia. The incident happened on the 100 block of West Logan Street at around 3:30 am on Monday. The victim told police that he was tied up and taken to anther location where he was forced to withdrawal money from an ATM. The two suspects then fled the scene in the victim's Chevy Impala. Luckily, the victim was not seriously injured in the ordeal.

Two teenagers are now in police custody after they allegedly made a threat involving a high school in Allentown. Officials say that back on December 4th, they received "information of possible threatening action to be initiated by two students at Parkland High School some time before the Christmas break." Investigators were able to trace the threat to two 15-year-olds who were arrested back on December 6th. This past Friday, a judge ordered both teens to be held in a juvenile detention center. An adjudication hearing has been set for Thursday. Officials at Parkland High School say that there is no longer any known threat against the school.

A Bucks County man who has been accused of serial rape has now been sentenced to 60-120 years in prison. 59-year-old William Charles Thomas pleaded no contest on Monday to numerous charges that he raped 6 girls and sexually abused a 7th girl between 1990-2017. He also plead for charges of child pornography. Prosecutors say that Thomas kept a "perverse shrine" in his trailer that consisted of 1,000 pairs of girls underwear and a documentation of his crimes in hundreds of graphic images and writings. Thomas apologized in court saying he did not intend to hurt anyone, Judge Wallace H. Bateman Jr. called Thomas a "monster" and said he found his apology disingenuous. Thomas's lawyer asked that his clients who is in "frail" health, be allowed to serve his time in a facility for geriatric inmates.
