Police are now investigating after a robbery occurred at William Penn Charter School in the East Falls section of Philadelphia. The robbery took place at the school which is located on the 3000 block of School House Lane at around 10:30 pm on Wednesday. Officials say that the break-in took place in the office area of the school, and a security guard stated that he saw 4 teenage suspects running away from the area. It is still not clear on what has been taken from the office, but police are still investigating.

Drexel University has now suspended one of its fraternities who is currently under investigation for sexual assault charges as well as alcohol violations. Tau Kappa Epsilon was previously on interim suspension after alleged sexual assault charges reportedly took place between April 28th and May 4th. Drexel University has stated that the suspension was not directly related to the investigation, but due to the fraternities failure to comply with the school's alcohol policy. Tau Kappa is one of 15 fraternities that are at Drexel.

Wildwood City Commissioners have passed a measure that will ban smoking from the town's world famous boardwalk. Officials voted on Wednesday to ban smoking from the boardwalk, the ramps and steps leading to it and within 10 feet of the wooden way on the beach. The ban will apply to all 38 blocks that stretch along the boardwalk in both Wildwood and North Wildwood. Officials have stated that the ban will go into effect starting on January 1, 2018.
