The PPD Northwest Detective Division is attempting to identify this individual responsible for this commercial church burglary.
On December 20, 2025 at 3:30PM at 9 East Chestnut Hill Ave the offender broke in and burglarized the Our Mother of Consolation Church. The complainant (resident priest of Our Mother of Consolation Church) stated he was in his second floor bedroom above the church when he heard a loud noise at the entrance of the church. When he went down he observed an unknown black male breaking into the “poor box” in the main church worship area. The offender saw the complainant and fled. The offender was last seen north bound on Germantown Ave.
Suspect Description: Black Male, bald, wearing a red hooded sweat shirt, blue jeans with white sneakers.
Dewey’s a community project. He’s our resident accident-prone guy who managed to get his dad’s pickup stuck in the county’s only mud hole during a six-year drought, release 300 steers from the feedlot onto the interstate, and create about a ton of tossed salad with hot oil dressing on the on ramp. Quite a few of us have scratched our heads over helping Dewey find something he could do without causing widespread destruction.
Last year, at Doc’s suggestion, Dewey fixed up his dad’s pickup and became what Doc later called an “entre-manure,” by taking manure from feedlots and the dairy and delivering it as fertilizer to people’s gardens. The problem is, no one needs fertilizer in their gardens in winter.
As we move into the new year of 2026, I want to take a moment to thank our amazing community for the trust, support, and partnership that you continue to show the Gloucester Township Police Department. Working together so well over the years is what continues to help make Gloucester Township a safe and welcoming place to live, work, and raise our families. Policing is most effective when it is rooted in trust, and our community has consistently demonstrated the shared commitment to keep Gloucester Township safe, so for that we are forever grateful for the excellent relationship.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States.
As a practicing cardiologist for more than 20 years, I’ve watched patients do everything “by the book.” They eat according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and still see their weight climb, blood pressure rise, and heart health deteriorate.
The problem isn’t their effort. It’s the guidance, which promotes high-carb, low-fat diets that can actually worsen heart disease. Many assume that by following the government’s recommendations they can improve their health. Too often, the opposite is true.
December 29th marked an extraordinary milestone for rural health care in America. The Trump Administration announced funding awards to states through the Rural Health Transformation Program— an unprecedented $50 billion investment established by Republicans under President Trump’s Working Families Tax Cuts legislation.
This historic initiative, which every single Democrat voted AGAINST, represents the largest federal investment in rural health care in American history. Access to quality care should not be determined by your zip code. The announcement highlights the Trump Administration’s commitment to strengthening the rural health workforce, modernizing facilities and technology, and deploying innovative care models that bring high-quality health services to rural communities nationwide.
