SALEM TOWNSHIP, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Police are looking for four individuals after a stolen car was found crashed.
On Tuesday four individuals were caught on camera driving a stolen vehicle through a fence and onto the Berwick Area School Track next to Salem Elementary.
After crashing the vehicle, all four are seen leaving the scene and are seen shooting at the vehicle they had stolen.
One of those rounds missed and hit a vehicle at a resident’s house nearby on Johnson Avenue.
Eyewitness News spoke with residents in that neighborhood and can’t believe something like this would happen so close to home.
“Doing that horseplay with the car is one thing, but to have the gunplay involved some innocent kid could’ve got hit with the gunfire,” said Salem Township resident George Brown.
George says he blames a lack of parenting at home for such reckless behavior.
“I just think that it starts in the home, ya know, the parents gotta try to be more stricter and not let kids have anything that they want and teach more values,” said Brown.
Others say that stuff like this doesn’t happen in such a quiet neighborhood.
“It’s a little bit disturbing. I’ve never heard of anything up around this whole area up around here it is very rare that you hear anything over here in this Salem township everything is so quiet up around these block,” said Timothy Quinn of Salem Township.
Police are still looking for the individuals involved and are asking anyone who may know anything to contact the Salem Township Police Department.
