This year we have committed to ensuring our police bicycle unit is more than just a patrol concept- they’re visible, approachable and a presence in our community.

If you see them out on patrol, be sure to say hello.

The Riverton Police Department is investigating a theft of Dewalt Power Tools. Yesterday, around 4:00 PM in the 200 block of Cinnaminson Street a contractor was working at a residence. He left two black milk crates curbside filled with used dewalt tools which were taken. Police are actively reviewing CCTV footage.

It is possible someone may have thought they were put out curbside for trash pickup, but that was not the case. If anyone has any information on these tools or knows the whereabouts of these Dewalt tools please contact the Riverton Police Department at 856-829-1212 ir drop them off at our PD without issue.

Again, these tools belong to someone and he needs them for work. The tools include two power drills, a nail gun, a table saw, portable saw, and a router.
