Lansford police investigating robbery, stabbing

Published February 11. 2020 06:51PM

 

Lansford Police said a strong arm robbery and stabbing occurred in the borough Monday night.

At about 9:30 p.m. police responded to several almost simultaneous incidents last night, including a reported strong arm robbery, a fight with multiple people (in the area of Cortright and Abbott streets) and a stabbing victim several blocks away.

Because of the serious nature of these incidents, the emergency response plan for the department was activated and extra officers were recalled, including the chief, sergeant and detective.

Police said the resulting investigation found that all of the incidents were related and the participants in each incident were known to each other.

The stabbing was not a random act, police said. It was directly related to this incident and there is no related threat to the general public.

The stabbing victim is a young adult man, who was treated at the scene by the Lehighton Ambulance/ALS and transported to Lehigh Valley-Cedar Crest Trauma Center. He is stable and expected to recover.

Police said all participants have been identified. The knife used was recovered and seized as evidence.

More information will be released as it becomes available.

Any place where the 'public' is allowed to 'voice their opinion' online , whether it be Facebook , Twitter , Instagram , or local news sites like this one , you see ridiculous , obnoxious , ignorant , irrational , unreasonable , distorted , twisted , illogical , comments from way too many in our society. It's been a bit disappointing , over the years , ever since the internet came into play , to come and realize there's so many whackos out there. Most of these individuals never had anyone to talk to because of their distorted ignorance , but now get a chance to use these sites as their own personal platform to express their hate , bitterness , anger , and twisted views of the world as we know it. Common sense is rare with so many of these individuals. They use these sites to lash out at others , to 'get even' with society because of their pathetic lives. I've closed my Facebook and Twitter accounts. I will leave this site soon. I'm not here to be exposed to these sort of people. I come to have an intelligent conversation but that's virtually impossible because these sites have been hijacked by losers , loners , viscious individuals who finally found a way to be heard. Well they will not be heard from me. All good people should leave these sites and let all the losers have their irrational debates with each other. Let the blind lead the blind ..... and they'll all fall in the ditch. These people cannot be 'fixed'. They are who they are. They have about as much 'class' as a closed-down school house. I refuse to spend my time , my life , anywhere near bad people. And yes , they are bad people. The internet has opened my eyes to all the ignorance. You always knew it was out there , and now you get to see it up close and personal. This is not for me. I will never waste my time arguing with a fool that lacks common sense. Get help to get peace.
