Newport Township Police Department

On behalf of the Newport Township Police Department and the Newport Township Board of Commissioners, we would like to thank The R Bar for their generous donation for the purchase of new equipment for our department. Thank you Lindsey, Lauren, and Rick, we greatly appreciate your support!

On behalf of the Officers of the Newport Township Police Department, we would like to wish everyone one a safe and happy New Year.

As a reminder to all Township residents. We do have curfew ordinance in town which states that all children and young adults under the age of 18 must be home by 10pm. The only way they can be out of their house past 10pm is with a parent or legal guardian. This ordinance is not aimed at preventing young adults from having a good time, but rather as a means of reducing juvenile violence and crime. The ordinance does come with a fine of up to $300 per violation. Multiple violations can also lead to the parent or legal guardian being cited also. Over the years Newport Township Police Officers have taken multiple children home after 10 pm, and many of those parents did not know their child had snuck out. Please be mindful of the ordinance, and on behalf of the Newport Township Police Department, have a safe summer.

We are pleased to announce an arrest has been made in connection with the theft of fencing from the Newport Cemetery. Scott Wylie of Nanticoke has been charged with theft, criminal trespass and institutional vandalism. His bail has been set at $100,000.
