(Zelienople, Pa.) Zelienople Borough Police have arrested Michael Shipley after at least four businesses were burglarized and vandalized last weekend in Cranberry Township.
Reports say that Shipley broke into Tony’s Exxon along Route 19 on Friday night. He had broken a door’s glass, the front window was smashed, and the inside was ransacked, all while a worker was in in the building.
Hours later on Saturday morning, police said Shipley then targeted other businesses along Main Street by throwing a table through the front door of Fisher’s Bar and Grill and spray-painting graffiti on the building at Sarah II Nails salon next door to the bar.
Police say they identified Shipley through video, license plate readers and traffic cameras in Butler County.
Shipley is facing several charges but told police he was being set up and denies the allegations.
