Neighbors looking out for neighbors in Westmoreland County

HEMPFIELD TOWNSHIP, Pa. –

Two men are in jail, accused of breaking into at least one Westmoreland County home. They didn’t get very far away from the Hempfield Township property before getting caught because
neighbors in that area look out for one another.

Rick Mori and his wife found a man standing in their kitchen Wednesday afternoon while they were home. After making excuses, he went outside. Mori said. “By the time I got outside he was in the car and he left.”

Mori followed & got the license plate number to turn over to police, but in that short amount of time, police say somebody busted through a window on Iowa Street and stole cash and cards.

Within two hours, police found the car and the suspects, at Jablonsky Beer Distributor trying to buy cases of beer.

“As he’s getting his purchase ready, about four police cars roll in behind him, handcuffed him and took him out of the building before I knew what happened,” said Tim Jablonsky, the owner.

Dennis Fairman and David Holsey were arrested and taken into custody.
