Philadelphia Police are now searching for a man who is wanted for a string of robberies throughout Northeast Philadelphia. The suspect has been breaking into the establishments in more unconventional ways. The burglar has robbed 9 places, many being bars and restaurants also including a Goodwill. The man robbed Tony's Kitchen on the 4300 block of Megargee Street, where he entered by ripping out the exhaust fan above the back door. He also robbed Benny The Bum's on the 9900 block of Bustleton Avenue. The suspect caused $15,000 worth of damage while breaking in. Police are continuing to search for the suspect.

Chester County Police have placed a man into custody after he is accused of shooting and killing his next door neighbor in West Goshen. The suspect in custody, 51-year-old Clayton Carter, is charged with shooting his neighbor G. Brooks Jennings. Police responded to a call on Monday night on the 300 block of Box Elder Drive. When police arrived they found Carter and Jennings in a dispute, which they were able to resolve. Then at around 1 a.m. Tuesday, Police say that the neighbors got into another dispute. Carter said that Jennings shined a light into his eyes while he was outside. Carter then pulled his car onto his lawn and shined his high beams at Jennings' property. Carter then reportedly pulled out a handgun and shot Jennings in the head after another dispute. He then reportedly stepped over Jennings' body and shot him once more in the head. Carter is being charged with murder and is currently being held in a Chester County prison.

New Jersey Police are now investigating after a victim was found dead and another injured inside of a hotel room at the Tropicana Casino & Resort in Atlantic City. Police responded to the scene at around 5:30 pm after receiving 911 calls from hotel employees. Police say that one victim was found dead in the room and the other victim injured and taken to the local hospital. The medical examiner arrived later on Tuesday to take the body for further examination. Police are continuing their investigation.
