A gruesome discovery was made in Germantown, where SPCA officials say they broke up a dog fighting operation. PSPCA director of enforcement George Bengal said what was found in the 400 block of Rittenhouse Street were six deceased puppies in the trash can in the rear yard along with one living male Pitbull, and they found an additional dead adult dog inside the home, which was being used strictly as a stash house for a dog fighting crew. Bengal and his team have served search warrants on this home twice before and made an arrest in 2013.

Crews battled a fire at a restaurant in the Germantown section of Philadelphia early Friday morning. The blaze was first reported at the House of Jin located at Chelten and Pulaski Avenues around 1 a.m. It took crews about an hour to place the fire under control.
No injuries were reported.

A Pennsylvania high school honors student just months from graduation was actually a 23-year-old Ukrainian national using a false identity after his visa expired, police said Thursday.
Artur Samarin, who used the alias Asher Potts, was arrested and charged Tuesday in Harrisburg. Samarin is accused of masquerading as a Harrisburg High School student who was a member of the National Honor Society. Samarin was actively involved at the school, working with a student advisory group on a food bank, and he was a member of the schoolâ€™s ROTC and Naval Sea Cadet programs. Authorities believe he was in the country for about four years, he said. Samarin enrolled at the high school as a freshman and was less than four months from graduation. He arrived on a temporary visa for a short stay, and he came to the U.S. under his original name. It wasnâ€™t clear if Samarin was in Harrisburg the entire time. He apparently lived with people he befriended, Wealand said. Authorities are investigating whether anyone else conspired with Samarin on creating or maintaining his fake identity. Online court records donâ€™t list an attorney for Samarin, who remained in the Dauphin County jail on Thursday on charges including identity theft and tampering with public records.
