Felony Arrest Warrant Issued for Brian Anthony Watson by North Coventry Police

The North Coventry Police Department has issued a felony arrest warrant for Brian Anthony Watson on charges of retail theft and possession of stolen property. The charges stem from an investigation into a theft that occurred at the T-Mobile Store located in Coventry Mall.

The individual involved in the theft, identified as Brian Watson, allegedly took a silver iPhone X from the store without making any payment. The retail value of the stolen phone is reported to be $1,079.99.

Anyone with information regarding Brian Watson's whereabouts is urged to contact the North Coventry Police Department to assist in the ongoing investigation.

Vincent Sanchez Jr. on First-Degree Murder Charges

Vincent Sanchez Jr., aged 32, with a last known residence on the 100 block of South Sixth Street, Reading, is currently sought by the police on charges of first-degree murder.

Authorities report that on July 21, Sanchez engaged in a confrontation with the victim on the 100 block of South Sixth Street. Following a heated argument, Sanchez assaulted the victim with a handgun to the face. Bystanders intervened to separate the two.

PHILLIES

Phillies

Phillies Edge Closer to Playoff Berth with Victory Over Mets

The Philadelphia Phillies are one step away from securing a spot in the National League playoffs following a 5-2 win against the New York Mets, marking a four-game sweep.

Nick Castellanos shined with his 29th homer, while Cristopher Sánchez struck out 10 over seven innings. Despite the victory, celebrations are on hold as wins by the Chicago Cubs and Miami Marlins delayed the Phillies' wild-card clinch. The team, which ended a significant playoff drought last year, has bounced back from a slow start this season and is eyeing a top wild card spot.

They'll attempt to seal their playoff berth in the upcoming game against Pittsburgh, with Aaron Nola taking the mound. Meanwhile, the team's enthusiasm remains high as they inch closer to postseason action, reflecting on the journey since spring training. The game also saw notable performances from J.T. Realmuto and a promising debut from reliever Orion Kerkering.
