The borough employee saw two men tailing a delivery truck and thought something was wrong.
MOUNT EPHRAIM -- A Mount Ephraim borough employee helped foil the plans of two thieves, according to police.
On Tuesday, Grover Crandall, of Williamstown, and Charleston Carter, of Clementon, were arrested by Mount Ephraim Police after the watchful eye of a borough employee who noticed something suspicious.
According to police, the employee allegedly saw a suspicious vehicle following an Amazon delivery truck and felt something was off. Maintaining a safe following distance, the employee said he saw Crandall and Carter take a package from a door step after the delivery truck had dropped it off. He quickly contacted Mount Ephraim Police and within minutes the two were stopped by an officer.
