Sources are reporting approx. 7-9 police squad cars working a scene at the Mobil Gas Station on Forest Hills just after 6 pm tonight.
Police call log shows no calls at this location. But several sources have contacted us and confirmed many officers are working a scene at the Mobil station.
As you know, Police are encrypted and have yet to release information, or put the call in their call logs.
UPDATE: Sources said the alleged suspect is 22 year old Steven J. Hawks. He was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle, resisting police, robbery and drugs. Currently on no bond until he goes to court, the $150 was for a warrant.
Sources reporting numerous emergency personnel working a scene in Machesney Park. Several police officers are searching the apartment complexes near Seaton Hall, Zenith Parkway, Delta Drive, etc…. for a suspect.
Sounds like they have a large police perimeter in the area searching for a suspect.
